Hi everyone! I’m new to actually keeping plants alive and I found this pink princess philo on sale at Walmart. I cleaned her roots up, removed some root rot, and repotted her in a combination of potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and some coconut coir. She still looks a little sad to me. Any other suggestions for my little princess? Thank you!

How’s humidity? Maybe try misting every morning?
