Where do you have her located?

#### Ivy replied on 2026-08-22

In my living room with bright filtered sunlight

If you can put her in a room with indirect light, like a bathroom, bedroom she might recover and do better.

I can try that. I have one bedroom that has an east window and a north window.

I have this two in different areas, not to close to direct sunlight…
