# I cut off some leaves of my flower (Solenia apricot) because they…

_Posted by Essie on 2023-05-19_

I cut off some leaves of my flower (Solenia apricot) because they were crunchy and had a white film type thing and they were just overall dead because they weren’t facing the sun at all.(I don’t know if cutting it was the right option but maybe healthy buds will grow 🤞). I have a pot that keeps the soil wet at all times but I don’t know if I’m overwatering it. I wish I had another window to put it in but I don’t have a better one to face the sun and I can’t turn the flower in the pot to face the sun. In your opinion do you think this setup is okay? Since I bought it, that bid on the left has grown so maybe? Anything I can do?

Maybe you could get it a small grow light that you could hang above it.
