# Hi guys! This is my callisia repens who’s been giving me quite a bit…

_Posted by Dani on 2024-05-04_

Hi guys!  
This is my callisia repens who’s been giving me quite a bit of trouble lately. I replanted and trimmed dead roots 3 days ago, causing me to lose a lot of her due to root rot. This is how she looks right now, dry crispy leaves and pretty droopy… I’m wondering if anyone knows what is going on or has any tips on what to do?  
She’s placed on the windowsill of my east facing window, the top part of the soil is very dry but the bottom is pretty damp. I tried bottom watering but I don’t think the plant liked it too much. Thank you!!

This plant props very easily I would try making a new plant. I received two small less than 2 in cuttings on a trip and they drove home with us on the 14 hr car ride. My plant has bushed out to your size a few times over

Thank you!! Did you propagate in water or soil?

Soil propagation

I have the same issue with the my plant at home. The soil was too wet and the roots started to rot. I also noticed little tiny bugs crawling around in the soil it was in. I separated them into a few different smaller pots hoping to bring the life back to it..

Did it work?

Mine was looking like this. I think it was transplant shock that did it in. I ended up having to chop and prop what was left to try and salvage it. Hoping it works 🤞🏻
