I picked this guy up yesterday and he’s not looking so hot. I just watered and it hasn’t perked up (about 6 hours). The spots are worrisome. I did just spray and wipe down all the leaves for fear of mites. Any ideas?

I’d give it some time. Maybe it’s just acclimating…?

If the leaves w spots don’t improve or get worse, I’d snip those off and just focus on the remaining healthy plant. I could be wrong, but I don’t think damaged leaves ever come back.

I would treat for pests. I wouldn't clip any leaves off until it adjusts. If the leaves are still green it's still able to produce chlorophyll for the plant
