# So about 2 months ago, I made the mistake of putting my rattlesnake…

_Posted by Ryry on 2023-07-28_

So about 2 months ago, I made the mistake of putting my rattlesnake plant outside and it got severely sunburned. But now she’s starting to make a comeback! There’s been three new leaves and two more on the way.  
Now I’m also wondering if I should try and repot it with only the new leaves or just leave it the way it is? Any feedback would be helpful! :)

I think leave it the way it is, it’s still recovering and you don’t want to disrupt it. 🥰

Leave it in that pot its in for a long time. Maybe check roots in another 6 months to a year. No signs or reasons to upsize, that would only cause rot and stress which would hinder the new growth progress!
