This plan is giving me a hard time, it’s been with us for around 5 months and I recently repotted to a bigger one to allow growth.

However, it has lost a couple leafs already and this one is looking a bit yellow and pointing down. I worry something is missing and on the long run may die.

The experts from the App said it was alright but I’m not so sure. It also has some small dots on the leafs.

Is she truly ok or is there something a need to change? Perhaps less light?

How long since you repotted?

#### Ethan replied on 2024-01-15

A couple weeks, but she was in this state before repotting.

The white spots on the leaves are normal for this plant. The bottom leaves falling off could just be the old growth falling off or it could be a water or light need.

She’s right in the window as you can see, but the sun is behind the house, does it need direct sun light? The water I’m just following the App schedule.

They like light, so next to the window should be good. Is it next to a heating or air vent?
