He’s not getting better 😭 (that I can tell) he’s lost two more leaves since I’ve repotted him, and I trimmed down the unhealthy stems as much as I could without hurting the healthy parts; but is there more I can do? He looks so sad compared to when I got him 😭
Does it have a foam piece around the roots. I just had to repot mine and pull that out. It was suffocating the plant. That and netting.
1 like I didn’t see anything like that when I was repotting him but if he doesn’t start perking up soon I may check again just to be sure 🥹

The pot seems really big for a plant that size. How big is the root ball? The plant may be trying to fill the pot with roots before it makes any more new leaves
2 likes The pot he was in seems small for his roots which is why we upsized him, he used to be a lot more full and outwardly big, but his leaves started falling off cause he was way overwatered (I hadn’t realized I didn’t take out the stoppers on the drainage holes of the pot) and so that’s when I repotted him. He has a solid root base; just his poor little stems and leaves are lacking 😭
0 likes But that gives me hope nonetheless! 🥰 maybe he’s just adjusting to the new pot and soil 🥹
0 likes As long as the root ball is well sized for the pot, I'd just give him a chance to settle. Some of my plants get dramatic with repots too. I usually leave them alone for a month before I start to worry that there's an underlying issue beyond their "I liked being cramped up in my old pot better!" whining 😂
1 like Hopefully he’s just being a drama king and will mellow out 😂😭 I’ll definitely post again one way or the other with an update 🥹

You may pull those roots out and check for rot! If that’s the case, spray heavily with alcohol/water and cut off the rot.
1 like When I repotted about a week ago now, the roots looked and smelled fine and I washed off all of the old soil and repotted with new soil in a slightly larger pot since he seemed a little cramped in his old pot. I’ve only lightly watered him once since then since he was pretty waterlogged and I haven’t watered him since; someone had said he may just need some time to adjust to a new pot/soil but do you think I should check his roots again? 😭 I just don’t want to disturb him more than I need to 🥺
1 like I understand that! Maybe just play the waiting game! Patience is key
