Had a major issue with Mealy bugs and gave my poor Monstera a soak to get rid of them. I did this about a week ago and I know it takes a few weeks to recover being repotted. However, the leaves are starting to yellow and it looks like it’s starting to worsen instead of get better. Is this typical when you do a soak?

Is the soil dry? It looks thirsty to me. But if the soil is still wet from the soak, I would check root health

I just watered it yesterday after 1 week. Because it soaked for 30, I didn’t want to water it again when I repotted so it wouldn’t get too soggy
