# My Wax ivy has been doing wonderful for the 3 months I’ve had her and…

My Wax ivy has been doing wonderful for the 3 months I’ve had her and suddenly over night the leaves on half the plant had withered stems and some of the edges of the leaves started wrinkling! I had to cut so much off and I have no idea what happened. You can see in this photo where one more leaf is looking pinched on the stem! Please help before she gets worse!

She looks close to the window, has it gotten cold for you recently? She could be experiencing too low of temperatures or a draft from the window. I’d suggest moving her further away!

Yeah I was wondering that. I was trying to feel the window draft and see if it was bad, but I didn’t think so. I will try any way and maybe get a grow light so it doesn’t have to be so close to the window! Thank you.
