Hi I just received this silver dragon in the mail. Its leaves were wet , soil is very moist and it looks like it might have some Oedema. I’m not sure. Any thoughts? Should I rush repotting it?

You could try to aerate the soil really well like with a pencil or chopstick just mix it up and make holes so it dries a bit? Either way definitely don’t water it anytime soon o.o

Thanks. I decided to repot it and the leaves dried out and have yellow edges. I think it’ll make it. The Etsy seller made it right and issued a refund.

These are very dramatic plants, I’ve had mine under decent light with high humidity and it’s still having adjustment issues a month later. At least we’re probably learning a lot from them? 😂

Once it acclimates to its new home… if you don’t have a humidifier, grow light, pon, self watering pot, and a fan… definitely get it! It will take off
