Hi! I repotted my pitcher plant a week or so ago and before that it was super happy and healthy. Now it’s droopy and pitiful. I think it might be the soil and drainage. Can someone advise? I think the soil is too dense but idk for sure. Thank you in advance!

    It might be in shock. Give it a couple of weeks to adapt.

    What type of mix did you use? Mine is in a mix of peat moss and perlite. I read that they really need an airy mix.

      I just went and bought a tropical soil mix from Lowe’s that’s made up of peat moss, coir, lava rock, sand, and fertilizer and is advertised to have great drainage so I’m hoping this helps.

      I hate to repot it again so soon but it’s been about two weeks and it’s struggling

      As someone suggested below, take a look at the roots and make sure it’s not rotting. I did not have an issue with shock when I repotted mine. I have a suspicion that the soil may be too dense and the roots are struggling.

    Check for root rot.

    So I checked for root rot and repotted in a chunky high draining soil. There was some root rot that I removed
