Stress from repot

#KentiaPalm
She is looking a little rough and rightfully so. I purchased a grow light for it when I repotted from a 10' to a 12'. It was very root bound at the bottom so to say that it was a process is an understatement. She's been peeking up a little since I put the grow light in last night but I feel like I should be doing more. Should I be doing less? Should I just leave her alone? I need an adult lol
2ft to light, indirect
12โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 2 months ago

LESS! allow her to get over the stress of the repot and dont do anyrhing to cause more stress!! Grow light is good and i know its tempting to try other things but its vest to allow her to heal herself at this point! Esp a root bpund teansplant!! ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿชด๐ŸŒฟ good luck and keep hands off other than regular watering for a bit btw, she looks fine for the stress shes been through. My Kentia reacted same during same situation so i even more strongly believe it will be fine since looking at her pic!!!
Her leaves are slowly coming back to life but it made me scared for a hot second.
