Shock maybe? I would say putting it back in the terrarium if it doesn’t Get any better in a couple days/weeks 1-3 weeks) Just keep it in the pot you put it in and Just place back into terrarium!

thank you, i did pull everything out of the terrarium and now there isn’t soil left, but will it be ok in a normal jar if i spray it with a bit of water? will it have the same effect

I believe so? I’ve honestly never Owned one of these plants BUT when you repot some plants They can go into shock in look similar to what your is Doing (if that makes sense!) i Would Try to leave it in the pot you put it in and Just place into the terrarium and do what you did in the beginning of It being in there again if that makes sense!

I would Say sure? Try it and If its not helping i would Suggest Trying to leave it to Get it’s self situated in the New environment? I do that and Most of the time they come back around and Thrive! But if your wanting to put into terrarium I would Keep it in the New pot so you dont bother the roots again! Just care for it as its in the (planted like before into) terrarium but in a pot instead of On the bottom of the terrarium yk? makes sense?

alright thank you!

The terrarium may have kept air temperature and humidity ideal for your plant and now it’s more exposed. One of mine got droopy when it was in the direct line of the AC/heating vent, so I had to shield it and mist more frequently.

thank you, i’ll try misting it!
