My plant is dying! What do I do?

Posted at: 2014-09-26 
Let it dry out, it is struggling and you may be drowning it. It is a plant not a fish. Plants have transplant shock after being ripped up and moved. Get some transplant solution with B12 at a nursery and use that when watering. If the soil is soggy, remove it and put in drier soil, repotting is less risky than wet soil. The plant is going to lose leaves which will grow back once the roots are up and running again. I have a bougainvillea that loses all of them several times a year, and it flowers wonderfully.



I used to work for a florist. Plants can suffer from transplant shock. They don't like being handled or having their pots and soil replaced (I'm serious). They also don't like to be moved to new locations if they are growing well where the were. You've repotted, freshened the soil, and moved them. That's a triple-whammy.

Return the pot to where it used to be, for a while. Don't over water (new soil holds water better).

Some plants like to be pot bound strange but true.Give it some time and regular watering it will begin to perk up most likely.

Help please I have just changed the pot for my plant and gave it new soil. It was in the old pot and the same dirt for almost ten years so it was time to change. But now it wont grow and the leaves are going limp. I've given it plenty of water, but don't know what else to do. This plant is really long and full of vines and I don't want it to die after ten years of growing it. I don't know what kind of plant it is, its all green, no flowers, and has big leaves, and grows like a vine. I also haven't moved the pot from were its been most of its life. Please help me. What do I do? How do I bring my plant back to life?

The leaves sort of look like this but with less slits in them. And its much more like a vine.

Any tips trick or help would be nice.

Thank you.
