Help! I don’t what is going on with this plant? We got it about a month ago at a plant trade. I repotted it because it needed it. But that’s was a month ago. No matter where it is and what I do it just looks like it is dying. What do I do?

The picture in the profile is what it looked like when we got it.

Mine gets crispy like this when it’s overwatered or the leaves are too wet- the pot might also be a little too big, these plants have shallow roots and like to be tighter in there

So what should I do?

#### Matilda replied on 2024-10-25

Water it less for now, wait until it completely dries out before watering again, and try not to get water on the leaves directly as that can also cause the brown spots. Can you repot it into something shallower? But I would wait a bit to repot as you only just did it

Someone here recommended Mycorhizzea (I use Great White) to establish strong roots and prevent transplant shock. It’s pretty amazing. Sprinkle directly on roots when transplanting.
