It's a section from my grandmother's plant, so I'm quite attached to it, but even when following all the instructions and schedules on the app, this girl just isn't happy. I'm afraid I'm going to lose it... It's in a north facing window, but above the window itself, so it isn't getting direct light... ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/VGRwIDeIgiWP_TV19h8PZ5ARiRPryYfTfhg695jZBNI/eBo2TGDqQbStEjQnS1VVRg.webp?size=large) ## 8件のコメント ### brittrbさんが2026-01-21にコメントしました Maybe more light? You could chop and prop🤷🏼‍♀️ #### thh20さんが2026-01-21に返信しました I'm trying to prop the segments that fall off, but it's early days yet... I could try moving it to be in front of the window w/ a grow light... See if that helps... #### brittrbさんが2026-01-21に返信しました From the way it is pale green and long like that, I think more light would help a lot. When was that last time you repotted and fertilized? ### thh20さんが2026-01-21にコメントしました It was last fertilized at the end of last September, and repotted (I was trying to grow it in leca, but moved it back to soil) in mid October. ### brittrbさんが2026-01-21にコメントしました Did it look like this before repotting? ### thh20さんが2026-01-21にコメントしました It's gotten worse, unfortunately... I put it under a grow light and in the window today.... ### Jaeさんが2026-01-23にコメントしました It sounds like you've done too much change too quickly. Plants are about the long care plan and small adjustments. Big adjustments like changing soil, soil type, and sometimes fertilizing (depending on the dose) should be done once a year max with small improvements made on a consistent scale to support. I'm not sure how long you were trying to do the semi-hydro medium, but the roots a plant uses in water are different than the roots used in dirt. The adjustment process between the two is also very long and will often lead to plant shock. Try to think of it as a fish that needs time to develop its air breathing lungs in a dry surface environment. I wouldn't change anything else save light to help give it the energy to create those new roots #### Jaeさんが2026-01-23に返信しました If you feel it needs any fertilizer, try B12. It's a very gentle fertilizer made from fish oil that is made to be easy on new roots. I would expect to see improvement come spring. With the fertilizing in September, changing the soil type in October and having it be winter now, I think it's still looking rather good having all those factors. Just be patient and keep a picture record to watch for progress, she'll come back around! --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
