I repotted my arrowhead plant because she had mealy bugs from the store I bought it from. Now she’s all droopy, IDK WHAT TO DO

It could be plant shock or even dehydration. If you didn’t water it well before repotting you might set the pot in water now and leave it 5 or 10 minutes to make sure it gets good moisture. Keep it out of drafts and in a sunny room but out of direct sunlight. Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you!

I’m gonna say it’s a transplant shock and will perk up soon

#### Ray respondió el 2024-07-26

Yes  
You’re 100% right she’s already started perking up, SO DRAMATIC. But I still love her, thanks for all the help!

Syngoniums are so dramatic 😂 glad to hear it’s perking back up for you!

### Appie comentó el 2024-07-26

If it seems to be doing badly take a cutting and place it in pure water and they will root fast!

Ooo, idk if you can see them well enough. But I’m the back of the picture I do have some props of the arrowhead plant. Thank you, suggestions are ALWAYS welcome
