Hi! I'm new to taking care of plants. So, I was propagating this baby in water, and she was THRIVING!! she had amazing roots and was standing tall and beautiful. I decided to move her to a planter, and after a week she's looking like this. what's wrong with her and how do i make her better? should i take her out of the pot and put her back into water?
I have had this happen before as well, I believe it’s probably shock try a really light organic fertilizer.

I would also keep the soil more moist than you normally would to help the roots adjust.

Agreed. It should perk up after it gets over transplant shock. If it doesn’t perk up after 3 days, I would say you can go back to water. If you do, wash off ALL the soil and cut off any rotten bits before popping it back in water

I agree with previous comments that transplant shock can cause drooping. The roots need to be moist, not saturated, until the cutting perks up. I’ve found that rooting hormone powder helps along with SuperThrive plant vitamins. I also put the plant in medium to bright indirect light. Good luck🍀
