HOW CAN I SAVE THIS???  
Sad update! I repotted and rooted the aerial roots and now this is what I’m left with 😭 I think the repotting was was very traumatic. I’ve given it a few days clearly but she’s not gonna make it, but it looks like the bottom most rooted leaf is doing well still. What should I do from here/ what would you all do from here? If u didn’t see my prior post, I bought this for $25 from someone in my town.

she desperately needs water.

I’ve given it so much I thought maybe I over watered it!

get a cutting and propagate. thats your only shot

#### Sarahpj08 replied on 2025-02-02

Even if I trim the dead and leave the healthy roots and single leaf?

### Darren88 commented on 2025-02-02

I did the same. Repotted and the shock killed half the pant. I’m lucky as it’s coming back.

😭 okay glad it wasn’t just me, cause I was like this happened like overnight right after I repotted it 🧐 but I trimmed all but left the two leaves towards the bottom and watered it generously so hoping for the best at least for the bottom one and I can make her new again

I think too much too quick is the issue. They say increase pot sizes minimal and not to much change in compost.
