I’m trying to save a coworker’s plant — she had it in a windowless office and just moved it to an area with part-sun. I trimmed a bunch of dead leaves and it has started sending out new shoots. But the big leaves are still browning and curling. Anyone know why? I’m not familiar with polka dot plants, which I believe this is.
The damage to the older leaves was already set in motion — no turning back. New growth is a good sign and should be healthier and adapted to the new environment. These, I believe, are sensitive to environmental changes, so time to adjust is appreciated

chopping and propping can help give it a fuller look if you wish for that - you can easily propogate in water, and I THINK you can stick it directly into the soil, though ive never done that method. these guys will tell you when they need water by drooping dramatically, look out for that as a watering 'notification', lol good luck!! ps - the more sun you give it the more pink you will see in the leaves :)
