Just rescued this droopy Baltic Blue, any advice?

Found this bad boy on marketplace and had to snatch it up, hoping I can let it keep vining but willing to chop and prop if I have to!
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago

Hello fellow Missourian! I am also from Northwestern MO. 😁 How are the roots, Is it maybe needing a repot? Does the dirt seem wet or dry, could it be a watering issue? πŸ€” Also if you just got this plant, it might be getting used to its new environment, might just need some time adjusting. I would let it get used to things before doing much like propping or repotting unless you see that the roots are rotting or REALLY need more room. That all being said, are there any signs of pests? That's always my worry when I get random plants.
Excellent snag!!!! Both are gorgeous; However, they look a bit Thirsty…. Both! Perhaps Let them sit in a big tub of water & drink their fill for like 30min-1h, then take them out. That should do it.
@JesssJungle hello! It was most definitely in the need of a repot, the roots were probably a foot out of the pot it came in! The dirt felt a little wet but not enough for me to judge it. I gave it a new pot with fresh dirt and drainage. I’m sure you’re right about it just readjusting I just wanted to make sure it didn’t start dropping leaves with all the beautiful fenestration! Also don’t judge me on repotting that baby NEEDED it! Plus it was affecting the drainage :/ but as far as pests go it looks clean, she had lots of healthy plants it seemed she just forgot about this one!
@SumFox I’m about to head back home and check on it, if it hasn’t improved I’ll try that out!
@JesssJungle and hello from the plaza!
@SBeezy , you did the right thing if the roots were that long!! That could have been the culprit.
