# I just got this alyssum and it seems to be dying really fast, I don’t…

_Posted by Jasmine on 2024-02-07_

I just got this alyssum and it seems to be dying really fast, I don’t know if it’s too much water or too little or something completely different. Does anyone have advice??

Never had an alyssum before, but I’ll try to apply general plant knowledge here. It seems more yellow in color, which implies overwatering. Make sure there’s proper drainage, but also try and water a little less frequently than you typically do. You want the soil to dry out a little bit before the next water. You may want to consider the lighting situation as well, because they like full sun or in an indoor environment, bright indirect light.

Thank you, I was thinking about that but I haven’t even watered it. I’ll let it sit and we’ll see!
