# Got this really pretty pink illusion from my local target. I took it…

_Posted by Amanda 🌱 on 2023-06-04_

Got this really pretty pink illusion from my local target. I took it out of the pot at the store and it was already rootbound. Which I figured bc it was literally stuffed into a planter that’s as visibly tooooo small. Most leaves look good but should I be removing these brownish ones? If so, do I remove them from the root or cut them? NEW PLANT MOM HERE. Most my basic plants are beautiful and thriving. This one is new to me.

Cut any dead leaves. Once they start to yellow that’s it for them

Thank you!

i just leave them until they are completely withered and then they fall off. if you need to cut it to get it out then it can stay because as long as there’s green they’re still photosynthesising
