# My Chinese Evergreen has been very droopy, with a couple of the older…

My Chinese Evergreen has been very droopy, with a couple of the older leaves looking more yellow. At the same time it is throwing out a ton of new growth and even is blooming (I think there are 6-9 buds in different stages of bloom).

Is it happy? Perhaps giving out one last bloom before it keels over?

The older leaves might just be nearing the end of their use. If it’s throwing off new growth AND blooming, it should be just fine. As for the droopiness, maybe it’s like a Peace Lilly? If it wants water, it’s dramatic and looks sad until you give it some water, then it perks back up like nothing happened. 😁

That’s what I am hoping! I think the pot is a bit too big for this plant, I am wary of overwatering but perhaps I have been under watering instead
