# Why is this leaf discolored? I recently repotted her but she has been…

_Posted by Brooke on 2025-04-09_

Why is this leaf discolored? I recently repotted her but she has been pushing out a new leaf since then. I did have her outside previously but moved her inside with a grow light because I thought she was getting too much sun outside. Could it be from too much sun or overwatering her when I repotted? I can’t figure out what’s wrong :(

My biggest issue I've had with any plant is over watering make sure she's got good drainage. If my plants didn't have it I drilled holes so it drains extremely well.

She has drainage in this pot but she didn’t have any in the nursery pot I got her in. I did water her when I got her \& then stupidly ended up watering her again a few days later when I repotted her in a much bigger pot so maybe it just has something to do with that

She might be in a pot that's too big

### Michael commented on 2025-04-10

The pot is not to big!! Drainage I went from a 6in to a 12in and mine is thriving

#### Michael replied on 2025-04-10

You're right you "stupidity" watered it again. Let it dry out

Listen to the app. It helps alot with the plant and progress

I have mine in direct sunlight all day. Morning and after noon. I live in the mtns at 8000 ft elevation. My sun is way worse than most
