    Looks like it might be sun stress? Or underwatered

      Yes but it was starting to be like this before.

      they’re really finicky about their roots and just in general. can you think of any other changes? temperature, watering, light? what prompted you to repot? dropping leaves?

    Mine was doing this a little while ago and I just cut off leaves that looked sick and put it under a grow light and voila it’s back to normal

      Thanks! I was worried that may happen but now I know not to throw it away 😂 I also had this same kinda thing happen to my dieffenbachia, all the leaves fell off and now it’s just roots and stems but a little sprout is growing from it now.
