Did it recently bloom?

Shoot. Mine went south after 1. It bloomed and 2. After the repot. Plant Doctor told me to clip the yellow leaves and let it go thru its temper tantrum🤷‍♀️ Does it have the right amount of sun?

Is it in full sun?

#### alizzwlker replied on 2024-07-06

it gets about 5-6 hours of morning sun

Sometimes they need to adjust to being repotted. Coupled with the overwatering it may just be getting over the shock. Make sure it completely dries out before watering again. Plus I would probably use a 50/50 mix of water and peroxide at next watering to aerate and ensure all rot is gone from the roots.

Yes!
