recently got this silver dragon and she seems happy, except her new growth appears to be struggling. it’s turned yellow and slightly crispy at the top. but the rest of her looks healthy? i did repot her a week ago or so, so maybe she’s in a bit of shock? would love opinions/tips :)

Might be shock, they’re very dramatic. Do you have it by a humidifier? In my experience, extra humidity is key to getting those new leaves to come out

you may be right, when it fully yellowed and stopped growing, i plucked it off and saw there was already another shoot coming out from under it! so yes i think she was adjusting. and yes i keep a humidifier on at around 60%
