OK, I overdid it a bit.
This little girl was hanging out at OSH when I stopped by for ONE THING (not a plant) in completely dry, hardened soil but she looked so colorful and reminded me of one I used to have, that I brought her home. Despite the dry soil, she looked healthy.
I had some gritty mix on hand at home and immediately took to repotting her.
First mistake, I didn't even water her before ejecting her from her old home.
Second mistake, I untangled all of her roots and nicely gave it a trim. I do this to all of my plants and 95% love it; I can't say this is the only time they haven't appreciated the extra effort...
End result: a very sad, pitiful Mammy.
To the left is the day I bought it. To the right is earlier today.
Any ideas on how, if at all possible, I can help her a little? I've only watered her and put her closer to a bright window....
She's so...limp! :-*(
