# Help! Is she wilting due to overwatering? I was late on a progress…

_Posted by Plant Mama Mae on 2025-09-04_

Help! Is she wilting due to overwatering? I was late on a progress check due to August travels and last watered was by my mom - but maybe she did too much? (She’s got a track record for almost killing my plants when I’m away 😅). Any suggestions on how to revive her?

If the soil is dry and the leaves are wrinkly I would water her a lot

If not replace some of the wet soil with dry soil

It needs more sun firstly

It looks overwatered. You need to check the roots at this point. It’s very difficult to tell with just one photo but a tell tell sign of a problem is the leaf drooping over the side. And the leaves appear to be turning translucent. Again hard to tell from photo. Touch the soil. Is it wet?
