# My fiddle leaves are not growing it’s new ones. It’s been root rot…

_Posted by Sanjana on 2023-05-22_

My fiddle leaves are not growing it’s new ones. It’s been root rot few weeks back and changed new soil and removed all black brown leaves at the end. I have started adding fertiliser still it’s not showing up anything new .

Please help me !

It all depends on how far gone the root rot was before the TLC, all you can do now is wait, keep your fingers crossed, keep taking care of it and make sure it has enough light 🤗 I would also suggest holding back on the fertilizer for a while until it has recovered.

Hey Ida , can I keep outdoor for sunlight but looks like it will burn the leaves.  
And my watering schedule is once a week , do I need to continue the same ?

#### Ida replied on 2023-05-22

Moving it outdoor might take some time since they often need time to adjust. Keep it somewhere where it gets around 2-6h of direct sunlight each day or if possible then keep it where it is right now and place a grow light over it.

Watering it once a week should be fine but this of course depends on the amount of water added each time, how much light it gets, temperature etc. so add all possible info to Planta and it will create an adapted schedule. If needed then your of course welcome to reach out to our support (support@getplantacom) as well 🤗

You may be overwatering and over fertilizing. Also may need more light.
