The newest leaf on this Rojo Congo rotted and fell off. She was just repotted so I’m assuming shock. But does anyone have any other thoughts? She’s in front of a grow light and near a humidifier.

Mine did that too. I limited the humidifier and put it in a warmer room and now it’s thriving.

Ooh thank you, it is quite near my humidifiers now.

Yeah for some reason I don’t think mine liked the humidifier bc ever since I stopped and kept it in a warmer room away from any drafts it’s thriving

When a new leaf is growing and you repot, the new leaf tends to rot or have other issues. You should always wait until the new leaf unfurls before repotting. Shock can make it worse too. Give her time to come back and her leaves will be fine again.

Yeah I definitely repotted too early. I’ll remember for next time.
