# Turtle Vine: Lisa here wasn’t watered for maybe 2 weeks 😔 I’ve…

_Posted by Rooted\_Romance on 2025-05-23_

Turtle Vine: Lisa here wasn’t watered for maybe 2 weeks 😔 I’ve gotten back on my routine but I’m noticing some brown leave which I’ve been pinching, stems are more purple, leaves are darker and not as plump. Couple questions… 1. Is it from the neglect or does she need to be repotted? 2. When propagating is the turtle vine plant made up of a bunch of stems potted together or one? Has her since February.

Did you water it yet?

Same question - like, soak the pot in water up to the soil line for a few hours, even. Then drain and let it alone until dry again.

Yes I did ! I just did it again today so I’ll just keep being consistency and see how it does! I was hoping I would have to cut back any of the stems.

Definitely, thoroughly water. Two weeks is a long time for a little pot to go without water.

The plant darkens with more light.
