# It was more compact and full when I got it and then I think I left it…

It was more compact and full when I got it and then I think I left it in a too dark place and now it looks like this. It’s now in a more sunny place but how do I get it full again?

This is what Google  
lens says you can do to make it full again!

Thankyou !! I will move it to my restroom where there’s plenty of light and humidity! Do you know if I should cut it and it will regrow or repot it ?

It says to do a combination of both! Glad I could help!

To add to those excellent recommendations I’d say it’s easily overwatered. I haven’t watered mine for 2 weeks now \& it’s celebrating 😂 gorgeous new leaves
