New to this not true to this.. Neglected my plants for a couple of weeks and I just feel so bad seeing them all dried up and crying for help. My satin pathos looks miserable.

It happens. The good news is that they should bounce back pretty quickly with just a nice watering. Plants are pretty resilient 😊

Scindapsus are the most dramatic. I abandoned my diffenbachea for weeks and marantas I just never keep alive. It’ll be okay!

But at least you \*know\* when the scindapsus are thirsty 🤣

I had to google these names. I told you I’m new. Scinda-what? 😭

Water well and say a prayer and they should be fine. 👍🏼❤️

The prayer worked 🤞🏾

They will perk up with water. It’s best to follow the Planta schedule though. I found out the hard way if a plant gets stressed too often, one day it won’t come back. 😢

I’d caution about using the Planta schedule. I use it more as a reminder to check but am constantly delaying watering because the substrate is still wet. If you follow to the T without checking the soil first, you risk root rot.

#### Hi\_Lu respondió el 2025-10-19

Oh nooooo. I’ll definitely try and keep up with the reminders!!

Check the soil first. Got it!
