could be overwatering or the pot size was too big for the root ball. the new pot should only be 1-2 inches bigger then the root ball

oh no then its way to big, thanks for the help!

anytime! the reasoning behind it is the roots can’t benefit from all the extra moisture and actually rot the roots which in turn kills the plants and look like this.
