Just bought this Pink Princess in poor condition. She’s still beautiful though. Time to rehabilitate her!! 💪

Any suggestions?

Doesn’t look terrible! I bet even just a good watering will make it perk right up in a day or two. I’m personally not a fan of that kind of coconut coir soil. I think it holds moisture for too long, which can be bad for the roots. It’s kind of a debate whether it’s better to let the plant acclimate first or to change soil first. I’m more of a soil change first kinda person, but it may shock the plant

Thank you, I was debating on if I should water her and wait or repot her now. I think I’m just going to repot her using some orchid soil.

Good luck 🍀 P.S don’t forget to check the bottom of the outside pot for sitting water 💧
