Was a very happy and healthy plant, and then i repotted it and it seems to be losing more leaves every day, i watered it 5 days ago, and i dont want to risk watering again since i know floppy doesn’t necessarily mean underwatered, what am i doing wrong?

Why did you repot? Was she root bound in the pot you had her in?

Plants go thru shock when we repot. I think you only repot in winter if the plant is severely root bound and can’t wait a couple months.

Do you have grow lights and adequate humidity?

I repotted it bc #1 its been about 2 years since its been repotted and #2 it had a bad spider mite infestation ive been trying to get rid of, and its in a greenhouse set up with a heater, fan, and stable humidity (not sure how much but enough for it id think) and was fine growing in the greenhouse until it got repotted

Sounds like the right conditions to repot with the greenhouse. How big was the root ball? From the pictures, the pot may be too big. We should only go up an inch or two when repotting.

Might just still be in shock from repotting. I’d be cautious about watering again unless it’s dry.

When i had potted it 2 yrs ago i potted way too big bc i didn’t know anything but i only sized up about an inch from the old pot, but i also completely replaced the dirt so maybe it got really upset from that? Hopefully it’ll recover or ill try and take cuttings
