What do we think is going on with her? She was just repotted and her roots are fine. But her leaves are VERY flimsy feeling and, as you can see, droopy.

Did you break up the root ball a lot when you were repotting? Typically repotting is stressful for a plant and they tend to mope around for a little while after. I like to wait to repot for when the soil dries enough to need a watering again and that’s when I take it out. I try to not touch the roots as much as possible or use gentle water to remove soil if needed, but theoretically if your soil is good you don’t need to mess with the root system at all, just gently lower it on the new soil at the base of the pot and then backfill new soil around the root ball. Then I personally water the crap out of the plant until all the soil is fully saturated and I let it drain extra long to prevent excess water. It doesn’t look too upset and doesn’t seem to have damage so it should be fine once you get it back to a normal routine

I do not like to mess around with the root ball. I found early on not to do that. Hopefully she's just being dramatic
