# Bought this black velvet the other day for 50% off (like $6 USD)…

_Posted by LindseyRae on 2023-10-22_

Bought this black velvet the other day for 50% off (like $6 USD) because it looked great and was just really droopy. (The plant store it was in actually has no windows so I figured it was just from lack of sun) I’ve had it sitting in the sunny window in the day time and in this chair at night under a grow light with it leaves propped up, hoping it will give it the support to get more upright.  
Any suggestions to help this guy get less droopy?  
He’s already doing better since I brought it home. It’s actually gone up a bit and had a new growth already. (Daytime picture is when I got it home the other day)
