Chances are, what your going to see in about 2 to 3 weeks is that the leaves are going to turn brown or flop down completely. Most people don't like to hear what I suggest to do, but it is the best thing for the plant and will give it a better chance to survive. I have already written out all the deatils in an article. My site is linked in the header, look for my article section and then look for the most asked questions, which it is in there because you just asked me the most asked question ever. I get this question 5 times a week. If you read it all and have more questions on specifics, you know where to find me.
