# Hoping for some help with a recovering staghorn sundew I just got in…

_Posted by Sydney on 2023-07-18_

Hoping for some help with a recovering staghorn sundew I just got in a plant swap! I only re-potted it ~week ago and it was in rough shape initially so I’m not expecting too much. Just wondering what people think about trimming stems that are black/withering? I’ve held off on trimming anything so far because I don’t want to stress it more but I’m worried the dying leaves are sapping energy. Appreciate any advice!
