How often are you watering? Do you have humidity? It looks like a humidity issue to me

#### New plant dad respondió el 2026-10-08

Hello! I water when I see it is low to dry but I also just got it maybe 4-5 days ago. Also the humidity is usually 60-75%, in the room, I have humidifier should I put it in front of it?

#### LeafyGreenhouse respondió el 2026-10-08

That seems ok to me . I saw that you recently repotted it definitely could be due to shock did you mess with the root ball? I wouldn’t recommend messing with the soil again as it is probably already shocked

Did you recently repot it?

#### New plant dad respondió el 2026-10-08

Yes but it was already a bit droopy, it looks slightly better from when I got it but should I take it out and take a picture of the roots for everyone?

### Nutshell comentó el 2026-10-08

If the leaves only start to get droopy recently, with no pest issue, the most possible reason is root rot.

#### New plant dad respondió el 2026-10-08

I see, there are the little things that fly I keep swatting, I haven’t seen any other I don’t think. I can take out the plant and show you the roots as I’m not sure, I repotted it and they looked ok I think but maybe I’m wrong I’m new :)

### Holly comentó el 2026-10-08

You said it’s only 4-5 days in your care - I think it’s possible the plant is just stressed from the move and needs some time to settle in!

#### New plant dad respondió el 2026-10-08

Ook I hope so, I’ll update as time goes by :)

Check her roots. New babies often come from the nursery in bad soil that holds too much moisture.

#### New plant dad respondió el 2026-10-08

Hey ok I will check the roots again, is it bad to take it out and in soil too much?

#### Tracy Lee respondió el 2026-10-09

Did you already check her roots?
