# Just realizing I think I have a dramatic plant cause it’s only been 4…

Just realizing I think I have a dramatic plant cause it’s only been 4 days since I last watered her and she looks like this now when yesterday I swear she looked just fine  
Bright side, at least I know when it’s time to water her just based on how sad she looks

Ah, the good ol’ polka dot plant. They do bounce back once you water them, which is nice. My problem with it was it got leggy as heck no matter how much I pruned it. It was one of my “starter” plants when I first started being interested in them so now I wonder if I could keep one better now… might have to try again!

I have an Arabica Coffee plant that’s the same way. By Planta’s recommended watering day, the leaves are dull and severely drooping. An hour after watering and the plant looks lush and happy again.

My polka dots play dead if I dont water them every 4 days. They’re just super dramatic!
