HELP! I bought her a week or two ago and repotted her in a smaller pot. (not the one in the picture. Did a smaller terracotta.) Picture of roots was day of repotting from nursery pot and then I watered her with āpurived house plant foodā And cleaned her leafs with ābig leaf energyā and she started falling apart a couple days later. What do I do?
these do notttt like change ā location, roots, temperature, light ā too many changes at once Iām betting

I think it may be a lighting issue. 2nd picture the better option for lighting? I just donāt wanna burn the leafs but I mean they are falling off anyway.
0 gillningarI think they like bright indirect light/partial sun

The big concern for burning is the temp; you wanna choose whatever gets her closest to the light without physical contact, and put your hand in the closest spot for a few seconds to make sure it doesnāt feel excessively warm. Hard to tell but looks like youāve got LEDs that are often designed fairly well to stay cool.
2 gillningar You could also consider getting one of the clip on style grow lights and attaching it to one of the shelves so itās shining downward.

This just happened to me when I repotted mine š but mine is already growing two new leaves! Thereās definitely hope that they can grow back, Iād just be patient š
3 gillningarAhh Iām glad yours is doing better! How long did it take for it to stop dropping leafs?
1 gillaOver the span of a few days it dropped most of its leaves besides the ones closest to the top, yours looks like it had more leaves than mine so hopefully it stops soon!!
1 gillaItās so sad watching them all turn brown and just peel right off. š
1 gilla Just keep things as stable as possible and avoid commission bias; people end up killing these plants by trying to do too many things to āsaveā them. Sheāll grow new leaves if she gets good light, and once sheās more stable you can try notching or hormones to encourage new growth lower down
3 gillningarI know šš I went outside one day and they were all on the floor I was shocked. Especially after I spent hours repotting her like cmonā¦.

Agree with what has already been said. Sheās doing her best lol Just needs some time and Iām sure sheāll put out new growth soon. If youāve got the skrilla, I hear Soltech lights are the best.
