Looking for help with my Pink Polly. Any ideas on why the tip is changing colors and curling up?

I have a Mint Polly that’s struggling rn too and the app said it was transplant shock!

I also posted asking others too cause I’m unsure. I didn’t see any creepy crawlers on mine so maybe the app was right? It kinda looks similar to how mine was doing in the early stages (yours is definitely doing better than mine)

Oh no!! Mine has lost two of its leaves and it is about to lose the third, they are very temperamental 😅

Truly they are!! trimmed all the leaves off and am starting fresh. Her roots are still healthy and one good leaf remains! She’s already started to sprout some new growth so maybe give that a go if you’re up for it!
