# HELP! Is there anything I can do to help this plant that was…

HELP!

Is there anything I can do to help this plant that was delivered why I was outta the house?? She is wilted but other than that, she looks like she’s thriving! But I’m unsure if I should just wait it out or if there’s something I can do to help the temp change shock!

Be patient. Give her time to declare the damage and trim away parts that don’t make it. Then just give her time and TLC to recover.

I get nervous about trimming anything lol when you’re trimming away dead leaves, where do you cut? As close to the base as you can get or just the leaf itself?

If you give her time to show the damage it will be pretty clear what isn’t alive anymore. When I’ve trimmed my diffenbachia with a scissors near where a leaf meets a stem if that helps.

Thank you! They’re also sending me a replacement so this will be my experiment plant to see if I can help her thrive haha
