PLEASE HELP!! Is she beyond saving 😭😭 she came off of a highly overwatered and under lit white princess, and I repot it in much better drainage but a way too big pot and put it directly under a grow light. This morning I put it in this MUCH smaller one, but it’s feeling very delicate and rubbery, and the leaves are starting to brown. Roots look healthy still, so should I and cut off these two leaves and allow it to start over? Or see if these leaves recover?

I would leave it and wait and see. Philodendron’s jn my experience are pretty hearty. I had a 2 inch plug Carmel Marble come loose while it was being shipped. It arrived in horrid shape and within a week it had sturdied in the pot and within 2 weeks it was giving new growth.

I would let it be for awhile until it’s settled. Every repot adds stress to a plant that was previously attached to a plant with health issues. 🪴🍀

Let it.
