# Weird one today :) what do we think? Repot necessary? I only repotted…

Weird one today :) what do we think?

Repot necessary? I only repotted about 14 months ago but after a recent overwatering period in August the leaves have simply just turned yellow. I don’t smell any rot from the roots but perhaps it’s my misjudgement. Since that August time I’ve only watered twice - once in November and a few days ago.

Perhaps she simply needs a larger pot :) sincerely hope so.

Also, should I just shear off the yellowing stems?

It doesn't look terribly root bound but I think a repot would be beneficial. Give it a little root stimulator to help it along. I would leave the foliage until it is mostly yellow and then cut it off. Any of the chlorophyll in the leaf will still feed the plant even if they stem is fading.

Yeahh I thought the same, thanks for the advice🙌🏾

Other than those couple yellowing leave stems, it looks good. There are several new stems coming in at the base. When you repot or even before I would give it some fertilizer.
