# This is a rescue I saved from extreme dehydration and too much…

_Posted by plant mommy on 2025-04-27_

This is a rescue I saved from extreme dehydration and too much sunlight. She likes her new spot, but is still slightly purple from the sunburn and I mean no hate towards her (but she’s just not very cute) she has tons of brown Ariel roots coming from everywhere and she just keeps growing more stalks instead of growing taller. Shes been healthy for a year now. Is she just an oddball or am I missing something?

Mine grows like that too also has a bit of brown and purple (I think that’s just how they are)

Okay yea I was just curious because my other one (he’s 8 years old) looks much idk grander and greener. Maybe I’m just over observing lol! 😂
