Can anyone help with how to fix this drooping fatsia japonica?  
Not over/under watered  
Light source is good  
Was thriving until I repotted due to plant rot  
Repotted with multi purpose soil  
Currently had support stems in place but without it virtually looks like a trailing plant now…

Hey there! Whenever I repot a plant it takes about 4-6 weeks to come back fully. I think it just may be in shock. Maybe talk positively to it and spend time with it… that has made all the difference with my plants that struggle. Sounds crazy but it works!

Thank you! Hopefully it’ll pick up within a week or two 🤞🏼🤞🏼
