I love the variegated ones! Is the soil too damp or any root rot when you repotted? Disclaimer-I’m not super knowledgeable at all lol. I think these ones like to be somewhat root bound too, so maybe a snug pot. If you don’t find any answers, I’ve had them do really well in water (with food) and they’ve always tended to do well almost anywhere in my house. I don’t think I’ve ever had mine in direct sun except for maybe morning sun. Hope sir plancelot bounces back! Good luck.
@FiggieCent thank you so much I’ll check out the roots again. I’ll try the water and food plan if there’s no rot. Hoping he’ll do good. I was sad so I just went and bought four more plants 😂
If it starts looking like nothing will work, I don’t know that I’d ever do this again or maybe I waited too long but… my googled version of major root rot surgery was basically cutting off all the rot (which was a ton) the id rinse the roots in water, then spray it or let em sit in some peroxide for a sec then put em in fresh water. I had 2 sections of 1 spider plant and one was dead in 5 seconds, but the other one slowly came back and I wasn’t going to put it thru then moving back to soil. Little man survived. But I was either not good at this or maybe too much damage, but I found it risky. Wanted to mention too maybe don’t give sir p any fertilizer or food until he’s stronger sometimes when they’ve gone thru trauma to give them fertilizer will basically burn them.
Last thing, sorry I’m a super nerd w plants. Plus if there’s any green left I won’t get rid of anything… I legit feel guilty. But the reason I had the root rot in mine was the no drainage in the pot (I didn’t know about mixing my own soil then either so added to the problem). But he could be sitting in too much at the bottom. when I thought the top was dry, I just kept watering too. I literally have to have drainage or it’d be a massacre around here. Ok, plant dork is done. Good luck!!
@FiggieCent you’re my favorite 😆 this is literally me so I’m totally okay with it, thank you so much
