# my polka dot plant was thriving, fluffy, full, and hot pink, but then…

my polka dot plant was thriving, fluffy, full, and hot pink, but then i re-soiled her to to gnats, and she has been tripping losing color and wilting. Any idea what’s going on? I thought it probably is trauma, but I just really worried about her, do you think there is any way I can help her?? i really don’t want to lose her. (edit) she’s doing great!! perked back up after a watering. hopefully won’t wilt again after my vacation.

Maybe she’s just adjusting to being repotted?

thank you, but i figured it out! she was under watered. i watered her today and within 3-4 hours she’s all perked up again. her color is still pale, but she’s doing a lot better.
