Just propagated this neon pathos. Ever since I potted it it doesn’t look so great. It’s slowing trying to grow a new stem. Any recommendations on soil fertilizer? How much sunlight? Does the top of soil usually go white when drying out?

So I heard something about if you propagate in water in a glass then put the roots in soil, then it needs to be in a clear cup so the roots can acclimate to the darkness of the light and adapt to soil. I hope that makes sense. I’m so tired.
