Sometimes if the pot is too big for the plant it will freak out. When you moved it to this pot was the root ball about 1 in smaller in diameter than the pot? I’ve had luck replanting back into a smaller pot

Ty!! I thought mine wasn’t happy, that’s I was missing something!!🌱💚🌱

I have one as well, looks about like yours maybe a little taller but she hasn’t grown since I got her a few months ago, I keep thinking she’s not happy but I’ve done everything possible for her to thrive. Maybe they are just slow growers!!

Put in a smaller pot for sure. That pots holding too much space in there.  
PPP are naturally slow growers. Like really slow.  
So get a smaller pot, make sure it’s in chunky aroid soil in a bright location, give food every watering, fertilize monthly during growth \& you should be good.  
Maybe add some humidity too
