# Well this is my Walmart rescue that I got when she was a baby ,…

_Posted by Lizzi on 2026-08-01_

Well this is my Walmart rescue that I got when she was a baby , unfortunately had a long road trip for a move and this is the outcome does anyone have recommendations? Please would love to keep her if possible . The extremely droppy leaf is literally the newest leaf that didn’t harden yet 😩 I wanna trim her down but not sure where to cut at ?

Oh, so sad. It looks like the stem is still green. You could try just trimming back the leaves that are burnt. Leave as much green as you can. Or chop and water propagate the viable nodes. Good luck!

Stems are for the most part are good I was thinking that but didn’t know if would take energy from the new one true to push through

If you can stand the way it looks now, I would leave it and carefully cut around any green and keep it so it can absorb light.

If you chop off all the leaves or propagate the nodes I think any new growth with be without variegation. And you’ll be starting from scratch.

I accidentally burned mine with my air conditioner during a summer then the cold air during one winter was enough to fracture the leaves. It’s taken time and patience but it’s bounced back from the damage pictured. You can save it! It’s worth it!

if you're meaning chop \& prop, would love to see the stem. can't be too bad. like ABagel said, keep as much green as possible. 100% recoverable.

I may just cut the leaf off as everyone mention I really don’t want to get rid of her and keep the green
