# okay so sadly this beautiful plant is getting dead leaves at the base…

_Posted by 0.isla.0 on 2025-08-27_

okay so sadly this beautiful plant is getting dead leaves at the base and they are falling off. nothing else looks wrong with the plant. a bit has snapped of though so I put it in the propagation pot and hopefully it will drown some roots? any tips on how to tell why this plant is suffering and how to save it!

I had the same problem with all of my wandering dudes. The plant in the pictyres looks quite leggy which in my experience is what causes the brown stems and leaves. I cut off any affected areas, water propgated, and replanted them. The progated ones seem to be the healthiest ones I own now. Mine seem happier when they are more bushy than leggy, sometimes the length of the vine pulls the shallow roots out because of the weight of the vine. I hope this helps!
