Hi all! I got this plant on Saturday, repotted it as the soil was so wet and compacted and now one of the leaves is looking really sad. I assume it’s probably been overwatered/stress of me repotting it? Should I cut off the droopy, yellow leaf or leave it? I don’t want to kill the whole plant 😭 any help is much appreciated! Thank you ☺️ it’s an alocasia black velvet
personally, i’d take off the dying leaf so all energy can go to the other leaf

I agree with Addie, even if all the leaves do die the plant will come back

the soil looks much too dense, which i think is exacerbating the overwatering. alocasia and other aroids need a chunky, airy soil to thrive. something that mimics tropical soil with lots of bark and grit.
