# Hey y'all ! Pretty new here. Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on…

_Posted by Stephanie Broering on 2025-07-08_

Hey y'all ! Pretty new here. Was wondering if anyone has any ideas on what's going on with this white night. Have it under a grow light, watered 2 weeks ago, just repotted last night and treated with fertilizer, super thrive and arbor fungicide. Noticed this before reporting and watering though. Any ideas on why it's getting a little soggy and curling ? Thanks for any help y'all can provide !

Your plant needs a humidifier or a pebble tray. Tropical plants need a high level of humidity. If you are misting it please stop. It only produces fungal issues on the foliage and gnats.

Thank you so much ! I'll try it out.

It also looks to me that’s a white wizard. There are photos online to help you identify. I always let mine dry out too, at least 70%. Your plant will tell you when it needs water. It honestly doesn’t look like your plant is in critical danger, could just be in shock. Ensure it gets good light. But make sure you’re grow light isn’t scorching the leaves

Oh, cool ! I'll try checking the photos. Thank you for the tips !

White knight has burgundy stems. It’s probably still adjusting to its new life.

That's a good note ! Thank you

Thought I’d throw some stuff here for you. Firstly, this is a white wizard, not knight. U can tell by color of stem.  
Secondly, if u just repotted you should’ve been able to tell if any roots were rotted. Soggy leaves can indicate root rot. Did u inspect the roots?  
Lastly, make sure ur soil is chunky aroid style. Houseplants need room in the soil for their roots to breathe. If the soil isn’t chunky enough, it’ll hold onto moisture longer than necessary \& rot the roots.  
This plant looks incredible besides the one leaf so I’m hoping u can fix the issue!

The roots were perfect. We basically cleaned em off and loosened the outer ones a bit and repotted them both in a potting mix, orchid bark, and pearlite mix. Thank you for all the notes ! We'll make sure to keep an eye on the soil to make sure there's no excess moisture buildup. Really hoping it was just the repotting, but wanted to get ahead of it. Thank you !

Oh I thought u said the pic was taken before repotting. My bad. If the roots are good then it’s probably just shock. Maybe throw some systemic pest control in to be safe?  
Have u inspected the backs of the leaves for pests?
