# Hi! I purchased this plant from a flea market. I waited about a week…

_Posted by Aya on 2025-04-16_

Hi! I purchased this plant from a flea market. I waited about a week before repotting it. I recently repotted it and noticed the little leaf is turning all purple and is droopy. Is this just transplant shock or could it be something else?

Most likely a bit of shock/old leaf the plant has decided it no longer needs.
