OK, what am I doing wrong here? This is my second pink princess philodendron, I got them both from Meijer and the soil they were in was like kinetic sand. It was so spongy & waterlogged my first one, which after about 2 weeks I ended up re-potting in a chunky soil mix, but it was already too late for her. The soil they came in, literally was still saturated a week after I watered it. The pot had adequate drainage holes and I only watered it one time, but the roots were already so rotted and I just couldn’t save her. So this is my second pink princess philodendron - from Meijer again. I added photos, there was already some mold on it when I bought it because it just holds water. So needless to say, she wasnt in the most healthy condition when I brought her home, but definitely not too far gone! This time, I repotted it as soon as I brought it home- which I usually wait two weeks, but I wasn’t going to risk it drowning again in that soil. I have used a soil mix with coco husk, perlite, clay balls, I think some bark in there too. I also put it in a smaller pot, as recommended by somebody on here. Maybe the pot is still too big, but I’ve noticed some of the leaves browning and getting a little floppy too, I don’t know if it’s in shock, or it’s just that one leaf, or really what’s going on here… So what am I doing wrong? This one is such a beautiful variegate, I want to save it by ANY means necessary. Granted, It wasn’t in the most healthy state when I first brought it home, but after repotting, I haven’t seen the improvements I thought I would by now. I’ve wanted a pink princess for so so so long, and maybe it’s just that I’m getting them from Meijer, but as I said, I want to save it by any means necessary. Is the pot still too big? Is the soil not chunky enough? Is it not getting enough light? (In a north facing window rn, i have grow lights but haven’t used them) Or, should I just cut my losses now and try to propagate what’s there? Any and all suggestions / comments are welcome and much appreciated!!
