# I don’t even know why I was so distraught when my Chinese Evergreen…

I don’t even know why I was so distraught when my Chinese Evergreen Emerald Bay went dramatic and all its leaves gradually turned crunchy and fell off.  
In true drama fashion though, it said Don’t Count Me Out Yet and suddenly sprouted these two new leaves and keeps right on a growing!  
I don’t even know why but I was so distressed about possibly loosing this plant but I’m sooo glad that I didn’t! ❤️❤️❤️

Yay! I know exactly what you mean though. They are living creatures dependent on us. And you carry enough to belong to Planta and try to do it right. It’s sad when they don’t live in spite of all of our efforts to make them healthy.

You’re right and so true!  
It is just like the animals that are in my care! They depend upon me for their livelihood so it is disheartening when I apparently can’t provide what they need! 😢🙃
