# Very new to house plants - bought these daffodils in great shape last…

_Posted by Starr on 2023-03-24_

Very new to house plants - bought these daffodils in great shape last night. They looked like this within hours of repotting this morning because I didn’t know they needed drainage :( So I repotted again and this one has drainage. Is there any hope for them?

I think they’ll be just fine. Give them time to recover from the repotting, don’t give them any fertilizer for a few weeks, and maintain the right moisture level. Even when the pot has drainage holes, the soil can retain a lot of moisture depending on the potting mix you used. When the soil’s too wet, the roots start to rot and you need to do triage. Keep us in the loop!

They might be thirsty or they might be stressed from the repotting. But note that they aren’t indoor plants. They are more like a longer lasting bouquet of flowers. If they doesn’t perk back up you can use the flowers as cut flowers instead 🙂 And the bulbs can later be planted outdoors
