# Hello All! This is the same plant about a month apart. On the left is…

_Posted by Rachelle on 2024-08-17_

Hello All! This is the same plant about a month apart. On the left is what it looked like right before I repotted it. The right is what it looks like now. When I repotted it there were actually 3 plants in the pot. I put them as close together as possible. Not sure why the leaves are drooping. It’s not over or under wartered. It sits right in front of the window as well. Anyone know what the problem could be? What should I do to get it straight like it was in the before pic? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Could just be since the leaves are getting super big for their stems! A simple trellis or some stakes to prop the stems on should help them grow upwards :)

I noticed that too once I posted the pics. I just wasn’t sure if it could be anything else. What kind of stakes should I get?

#### Sage replied on 2024-08-17

I honestly got a couple long dowels from the wood store and used plant Velcro to attach the stems to it. If you don’t like the woody look of dowels you could paint it to match the plant!

Also she’s a GORG plant btw!!! She’s so happy!

#### Rachelle replied on 2024-08-17

Thank you so much. She was my first plant so she’s special to me🥰 I had to make sure she wasn’t dying. I would probably cry if she did. lol!

I would also consider just shock from the repot

#### Rachelle replied on 2024-08-17

Yes. That could also be the issue. I hope it gets better soon.

#### Bri replied on 2024-08-17

If it is just shock she should bounce back in no time ! 😇 I once separated my rubber trees and it took them weekssss to bounce back so just give her time 😁

Yes this happens when I divide my angel wings and arrowhead plants. Droopy for weeks after

#### Bri replied on 2024-08-17

Yesss I think a lot of plants behave like this especially when messing with the roots

#### Cait2k3 replied on 2024-08-18

They be sad like “don’t touch me down dere”

This happens to me when I repot sometimes. I think it’s stress/agitation and I usually prop my plants leaves up with sticks until she starts holding herself up on her own again

I think it looks good it looks like it’s matured. Is the new pot smaller than the original one?
