# Hey! I have this painted nettle that has really been going downhill…

_Publicado por Ella el 2025-03-23_

Hey! I have this painted nettle that has really been going downhill lately. It was infested with lice a while ago but I’m 99% sure they’re gone since i havent seen a single bug in months. Despite that, it’s in a pretty sad state. I got this nettle from my best friends 96 year old grandma, and it’s pretty important to me that it survives. Any tips are appreciated! I’ve thought abt repotting, or taking off a ”healthy ish” bit to replant later.

I definitely do a prop and chop with your baby, just in case she doesn’t make it…

I think youre absolutely right, today the taller stem just completely gave up and folded over. I took off the stem on the right and put it in water and i pray it grows some roots so i can have a chance at replanting it.
