# Emergent! My poor catnip plant is very stressed and I think I screwed…

_Posted by Sypher on 2025-02-12_

Emergent! My poor catnip plant is very stressed and I think I screwed up badly! My plant fell over one day bending on its stem! I freaked and decided to change her pot and support her with a steady stick to keep her standing up… after all that I watered her as scheduled which is once a week and now she’s dying. I checked the soil and realized it’s damp on the top and wet on the bottom of the soil. I have no idea how I did this. I always make sure to not water so much. I have had her for 5 months! I’m so sad. 😭

Catnip is a type of mint, so she might bounce back once she dries out. Mint is incredibly hardy.
