Noticed the dark spot on this leaf last week. Today I noticed it’s gotten bigger and the leaf is yellowing. I repotted the plant last month and haven’t watered for 19 days because the soil has been wet. Is it just a bad leaf or should I be concerned about root rot?
Depends on where you live. 19 days seems like a long time. How much amendments (perlite, coco chunks, etc) have been added to the soil? These plants like aeration around their roots
1 mi piace I added perlite to the soil when I repotted. Im not sure how much but maybe I should I add more? I’m in Illinois.

I wouldn’t try to repot right now. Keep an eye on it and make sure it’s getting bright light - especially as it’s fall and winter is coming 😵💫

Need to check roots. Only added perlite likely is keeping soil too wet and causing root rot.
1 mi piace The roots looked good- tg!! There was a lot of perlite so I added orchard bark to it but the bottom soil was very wet. Maybe I just watered it too much when I last watered??
1 mi piace No such thing as too much water, only a problem if watering too frequently. Now the soil has perlite and orchid bark? I think your plant may be in shock. Remove this leaf and watch the other ones. I personally have had to repot a plant more than once because the soil mix wasn’t quite right. We learn as we go haha
