# Anyone know what to do for this guy? I’ve repotted it in better…

Anyone know what to do for this guy? I’ve repotted it in better draining soil because it was really retaining water but I’m not sure if it only being overwatered or if there is another problem going on.

Were the roots healthy when you repotted? If so I’d trim the tips and completely remove the leaf that’s brown at the base. Give it a few weeks to adjust after that and hopefully it will stabilize

Yes they were nice and firm and didn’t smell bad. Hopefully it is on its way to better growing!

Sounds like you caught the problem right away, good eye! I think it’ll recover quick

By they way its growing, in a circle, it might be fungus. If you try everything already, you can try to cut the infected leaf and treat the hole plant with fungicide.
