I got this Alocasia Polly Mint about 3 weeks ago and repotted her (first photo is when I first brought her home). She’s looking pretty rough now and the Planta app says it’s transplant shock. I don’t see any bugs, webs or crawling specs but I’m genuinely so terrified of thrips. I have quite the regime when I bring plants home to prevent them. Can anyone attest this truly is transplant shock and or have any tips? I’ve never dealt with it before!

    It looks like that leaf was on its way out when you brought it home. I’d snip that one off and let the plant divert energy into new growth

      How did her roots look when you first repotted her? If she’s putting out healthy new growth and the roots looked good, I’d take that as a good sign ☺️ Definitely check the soil moisture before watering, but otherwise I’m a big advocate for a little benign neglect lol let her do her thing 🪴

      You rock!! Her roots look quite healthy upon repotting! I should’ve planted in a clear pot so I could monitor more

    That’s great! Healthy roots are a good sign ☺️ I’d just let her settle in for a bit now 🪴
