In desperate need of advice! I’ve had this pink princess for about a month now and it was doing great until we moved 19 hours away and it sat in the car and only spritzed with water during our stops/breaks. The three leaves are not doing great at all and I’m really concerned.

I’ve recently repotted to a better draining soil about a week ago and did not see any root rot, gets more than enough light in a SE window and grow lights with a humidifier near by.

It’s just shocked from the move and then being transplanted. Give it more time and baby it for awhile. I moved a month ago. This weekend I started repotting. My plants will probably be impacted with their growth rate, but I’m keeping a close eye on them.

Two pieces of the BEST advice I’ve ever received - “it’s easier to save an underwatered plant vs an over watered plant” AND “get a light meter! Proper light is under valued in houseplant care”. I only got a light meter in the last couple months. I’m still trying to examine and research foot candle requirements for my plants.
