I’m trying to revive my flamingo plant. I just repotted it in indoor potting mix for tropicals. What else can I do? I’m not sure what the browning leaves mean.

Improper watering or maybe too much direct sunlight. Did the roots look okay when you were repotting

It’s in the corner of a eastern and southern facing window so it’s likely improper watering? The roots looked ok-maybe a tad brittle, but no root rot that I could tell.

Hopefully from the repot you have some better soil/ more drainage that it will produce some good leaves for you. Make sure you look at your plant info to see how much/ how little water it needs
