Does she have good drainage hole and what kind of soil?

#### mags replied on 2024-09-25

yes, just a normal indoor potting mix

Personally I would cut down all the dead leaves, making sure she’s getting a good airy soil, water (if she’s not already wet) fertilize and put by a window.  
I looks to me like she’s sat in standing water for way too long at some point and been overwatered. Did the roots look ok when you repotted ?

Make sure she gets a good potting medium. You’ll need your regular potting mix, people hate on miracle grow all purpose potting soil, but I’ve never had a problem. Then you’ll wanna add pearlite and orchid bark for good drainage. Now for a little nutrients, I like to add worm castings to the mix.  
So I would repot it, inspect the roots, make sure they aren’t mushy, if they are mushy cut them off (with clean clippers of course, I use rubbing alcohol) give the roots a good rinse and then pot that baby:) give it a good water and see how she thrives:)

Water when the first 2 inches are dry:)

Forgot to mention, also cut off all the problem leaves
