They have a higher humidity need, so it might be in shock from the move. Do you have a means of giving it more humidity (humidity tray, humidifier, humidity cabinet, etc.)? #### Adrian님이 2024-09-07에 답변했습니다. I also always check the roots and check for pests when getting any new plants, especially from box stores. Always worth ruling out when a new plant is acting up. #### Plant lover님이 2024-09-07에 답변했습니다. I don’t have one, but I’ll buy one ### Plant lover님이 2024-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Ok thank you! #### Adrian님이 2024-09-07에 답변했습니다. No problem! I’ve spotted them at my Lowe’s lately, and knowing their track record with plants, I was just internally screaming because I know crotons can be difficult plants, and ones that box stores really have no business selling at the start of the FALL 😂 please don’t feel like it’s your fault if the croton gives you trouble, is all I’m saying. And from my experience with Lowe’s plants, they’re often potted in the wrong soil, pest infested, overwatered or placed in self-watering pots, you name it, so just give it a good inspection before bringing it in around your current plants. I quarantine any new plants I bring in for 2 weeks after repotting, checking the soil, and using insecticidal soap and neem oil on the top of the soil and leaves as a preventative pest treatment. Hope this helps! Good luck! 😉 ### Em님이 2024-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Probably needs reporting if its in the original container from the shop, usually come error bound especially clearance pants ### Em님이 2024-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. \*root bound. ### pixeylover73님이 2024-09-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Usually with crotans it’s a humidity thing and or watering thing so keep your eye on both. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
