Hi everyone.  
I recently (2 weeks maybe) bought this plant from a garden centre n the poor little guy wasn’t doing to great.

I believe him to be a white agloanema and from what I’ve read they don’t love much water and when I got the poor guy he was drowning in wet soil. I left him for 2 weeks to dry out but was seeing no improvement so decided to repot him and I’ve left him In dry soil for two days before watering.

I’m hoping this helps but does anyone have any suggestions to speed up the recovery process?

Maybe cut off the two brown leaves that won’t recover so the energy can go to the health of the remaining good leaves. Just a thought

Awh I was hoping maybe they would get better but I think you might be right. I might leave him for a week and if I see no improvement cut them off.  
Thank you x

Does your fancy disco ball pot have drainage holes? Or is the plant still in a garden pot? If yes, then I think the only other thing is making sure it has the right light and patience. You’ve got this!

Hii, the disco ball has one drainage hole at the bottom but I have the plant in a garden pot sat inside the disco ball which has about 5 I believe.

Thank you! Fingers crossed he gets better 🤞🏽

Perfect! I love that disco ball!!!
