What a difference a week makes.. any ideas on what’s happening to my golden goddess? She arrived 7 days ago and I repotted to terracotta pot with drainage and watered, created her Planta profile. Scheduled watering is today yet look at the leaves? All but 3 have yellow and/or brown spots. Even incoming new growth 😱😭😫kept in room with humidifier and indirect sunlight. My lamps have grown lightbulbs I use in the mornings and she is on the other side of the room..what to do??

Probably just shocked from all the change. If the roots looked good when you repotted, just give it some time and I think maybe I would move it closer to the grow light. My plant like this one Loves the grow light.

Thank you.. should I trim off the ugly spots on the leaves?

You can if you want!

I was going to say the same thing as what whelf said. Plants go through a acclimation/stress period when being brought into a new environment, shipped or repotted. If more than one of those happens at same time, even more so. Thats why its usually best to wait 3-7 days before repotting a brand new plant you just brought home. Its pretty normal to loose up to about 1/3 of your plant due to the above. It will settle and grow back.
