# This seemed to be doing just fine till I accidentally broke the pot…

_Posted by Michael on 2025-02-04_

This seemed to be doing just fine till I accidentally broke the pot it was in. It’s been repotted, but now seems it may be dying a slow and painful death. I’m not ready to move it to the “graveyard” yet. Is there any hope left? Help! (First two photos are close ups now and last was after repotted)

I took it by a local nursery and they suggested I soak it for an hour as they said it didn’t look dead yet, just thirsty. We shall see if it recovers 🤞
