I will also add that sometimes the leaf looks better than expected once it unfurls; sometimes the variegated parts of these plants turn brown more quickly than they would on otherwise green leaves. Best of luck to you and your plant! #### MBS님이 2026-01-08에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much! I am still leaning. I am also down for any advice! ### Kingbetes님이 2026-01-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Ahhh sorry! This is upsetting lol from the pics, the plant looks too small for that pot size. I’m thinking overwatering could happen easily with that much soil and probably lesser roots. If you can, try repotting into something smaller and I’m sure it’ll heal right up #### MBS님이 2026-01-08에 답변했습니다. Thank you! Always welcome advice! I did figure out I upgraded her pot to big when I repotted her last and down sized her yesterday. Roots looked so healthy and were really big under that soil! Must have been my rationale when I put her in that pot! But now she’s all nice and snuggled in a smaller pot fingers crossed she becomes happy again! ### Whit\_Y님이 2026-01-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Give the leaf time to unfurl, it could be totally fine! I agree with Kingbetes - that pot looks too big, downsizing will greatly reduce risk of root rot. Also, are those marbles mixed into the soil?? #### MBS님이 2026-01-08에 답변했습니다. Yes, thank you so much. She’s already downsized pot wise. The marbles were just for decoration and didn’t cover all of the soil so that way it would dry out and not stay moist. ### MBS님이 2026-01-10에 댓글을 남겼어요. Just an update! I think it is going to be the variation part that rotted! I will love it no matter what! Just so happy it’s not the whole leaf! ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/28VcGLE52RwHae_5wt-mWUQS0cE22teIildsqnKtxgQ/s5VAPEMiQLqEKjhJEP-nbQ.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/28VcGLE52RwHae_5wt-mWUQS0cE22teIildsqnKtxgQ/3AzYnO0WS8aotQjab1B5Hw.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/28VcGLE52RwHae_5wt-mWUQS0cE22teIildsqnKtxgQ/Nd8fALfSTAKOS7p0JW0xZw.webp?size=large) --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
