# I have Calathea Orbifolia that I repotted because she seemed to need…

_Posted by Sinister Biscuits on 2026-09-01_

I have Calathea Orbifolia that I repotted because she seemed to need watering a lot and I realized she had a good amount of roots. I’ve repotted her to a pot an inch bigger (didn’t have anything else that wasn’t too big) and she’s a bit droopy. Is that just from the repot and if so, how long should she take to rebound? Usually her largest leaves are standing straight up to catch the light and now they are a lil droopy.

And yes this pot has drainage - I forgot to add that in the post 😊

They’re moody moody little plants, it’s gonna be sad and droopy after a repot just because they don’t like being changed up on. Mine will get sad and droopy if I take its emotional support cactus and whale fins away.
