# I have an heirloom philodendron that I recently repotted. She’d been…

I have an heirloom philodendron that I recently repotted. She’d been in terra cotta for years and I switched her into a fancier pot, but she’s seemed stressed and droopy in comparison to thriving for so long. Do I switch back to terra cotta? Or is something else to blame?

How long has it been since you switched it over? Does the pot have proper draining holes?

About a month or so and the drainage is good

Terra Cotta only for me

I would give it time to adjust if it’s been a recent re-pot.

Yeah, they don’t LOVE being moved…
