Hi!! I’ve had this pink princess for a little over two weeks. I had to repot it from its nursery pot as the soil was hydrophobic. I did this about a week ago. Today it is dropping leaves. Should I be concerned? What other factors might be contributing to this? She is placed near an ac unit but doesn’t have direct airflow on her. I mist her twice a day to keep the humidity up as well.

    Hi I don’t have a ppp but I have a few philodendrons. Transplanting could be a big factor. I would try to move her away from the ac if you can. The combo of wet leaves from misting and being near the ac could cause leaves to drop. Just my experience on misting, i do not mist my birkin, she hates it for whatever reason. I only mist my Florida bronze when new leaves are unfurling.

      Thank you! I’ve moved her away from the ac unit as much as I could while still making sure it has enough light! Hopefully this helps

    My plants usually do this when I repot and relocate at the same time. It’s a lot of stress but sometimes needed. The new leaves coming will be acclimated to the new surroundings. Good luck!
