# Moved into a house July 1st and started my Plant Daddy lifestyle this…

_Posted by PlantNewbSTL on 2025-08-13_

Moved into a house July 1st and started my Plant Daddy lifestyle this week. Ordered a few plants online and here we are. Received them this week and al seem to be ok except for one. Not sure if this one will make it or not. Any help would be appreciated.

It’s called a nerve plant cuz they get on your nerves with the dramatics. Just give it some water and it should perk right back up

yep!! don’t be afraid to chop it either. it’ll come back fast

These are notoriously dramatic about wilting and will recover just as quickly. They like relatively frequent watering (so use soil with excellent drainage, some moisture retention, and take precautions against root rot.) While the dramatic wilt is interesting to see, it also stresses the plant, so try to avoid letting it get that thirsty

That looks about like this one giving me fits. It’s soo delicate I feel like I should wisper when I’m around it or it will croak!

A little water and a few hours under the grow light and it’s looking better
