# It’s been about 5 ish days since I’ve repotted and trimmed the bad…

_Posted by DaReptileGal on 2025-07-05_

It’s been about 5 ish days since I’ve repotted and trimmed the bad leaves and roots. But it looks like it’s getting worse. The leftover leaves didn’t have brown on them before and now they are slowly getting more brown. Any advice?  
TIA!

I recommend not trimming off the dead parts of the leaves just so you don’t stress the plant. Also maybe a bit more light would help. Do you know what type of plant it is?

I’m pretty sure it’s a philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’

If you've already checked and treated for root rot, then your best bet is to just give it time and continue regular care
