Is this a calathea? They can be quite dramatic after repotting, she may be experiencing some transplant shock; however, the new pot is much too big. Gently repot her into a pot 1-2” larger than the original and give her a good drink, and some time to recover 🌱

Peace lilies are also drama queens 😆 I still recommend repotting into a smaller pot. Was she in the same pot for 5 years?
