HELP ! I’ve had her for 5 years decided to recently repot because she wasn’t growing or dying but now she’s gotten worse . I think it’s a mixture of repot shock , overwatering , and bad lighting. How can I revive ? I don’t want to keep repotting because she’s definitely confused by this point 😭

It looks like our office plant that didn’t come inside when it got cold over the weekend and we weren’t there to rescue! I brought her home to rehab.  
She looked like this for a couple of months. Early March, I started to cut the droopy leaves. By early April, I had signs of new leaves! Mid April those budding leaves were coming out strong! I need a new photo because she now has a flower bud forming. ❤️
