# Trying to nurse this baby back to health. It used to be a pretty…

_Posted by Kristin on 2023-06-30_

Trying to nurse this baby back to health. It used to be a pretty decent size but then just started dying, so I cut off all the black pieces and the dead stem sticking out. Took it out of its old pot and realized that the roots were wrapped in a cloth so I removed that and rinsed off the roots. Repotted it in spagnum moss, and have it sitting in water. Any other suggestions?
