Hi @bpmucheck did it come in that pot or did you repot it right after you got it? Does your pot have drainage?

Was it packed away for a while? It might need some light and a little bit of water.

@Momof83ans i repotted it when it came in, and yes the pot has a drainage hole. I gave it some water on Monday, and it’s just gotten worse since.

@clairsheart yes, it took about a week to get to me. I gave it some water on Monday morning, and have it in light, but not indirect. It has just gotten worse.

@PatientRedmambo where do you think a good area would be to put them?

@bpmucheck it could be a few things. It might be shock from repotting. When you repotted it, how did the roots look, were there any roots that were mushy or dark? Did you only size up one to two inches from the root ball? If the pot is too big it will rot. When you watered, did you use tap water? These can be sensitive so distilled water or rainwater is recommended.
