i’m a new plant mama, this pretty lil lady was very perky when i first got her, i made the dumb mistake of repotting her, and since then she’s a lil more droopy, but also more purple which i love but have no idea if that’s good or bad ?

She’s very pretty.

I have this plant. Mine looks the same. I love her color

Looks a little overwater- I think what happens when we repot, we feel need to add a bit more water and sometimes that’s not true (depending on the plant).

I’d propagate it a lot and it’ll look very naked and ugly for a little but then once those have roots, add them back in and it’ll look more full. :) and just repeat until it’s more full OR repot to a smaller pot again, adding the rooted propagations while repotting.🫶🏻
