Anything I try repotting in soil looks like that…droopy. Is that common?

Yeah, but just wait a few hours and it will be fine!

Good luck!! Did you add anything other than potting soil? It may need more draining, the soil looks heavy. I use coco coir, perilite, or vermiculite (recently discovered) \& it has made a world of difference!

In addition to potting soil, it adds drainage \& prevents root rot. 🪴

I don’t think I did, but she’s doing a lot better now

### StringofMonsteras commented on 2024-05-23

Also, the soil was just damp
