Hi! Help with my coprosma repens?

I have very recently became into plants, and this plant, the Coprosma Repens, is why. I became fascinated with it. I took my time and studied, acquired other plants and waited before I finally acquired one of them.
It arrived three weeks ago. I live in Brazil, far away from its natural habitat. It arrived out of a pot, which meant I had a self-watering pot ready to go, and immediately and with all the care in the world replanted it.
However, since then, it has been like this. I do not know if it is the placing, the watering, the plant itself... or even if there's something wrong at all! I'm worried that's all. Would someone help me? #help #mirrorbush #coprosmarepens #indoorplants #urbanjungle

Hi there! From the picture you posted, it looks like this guy is underwatered. I would check to see if your self-watering pot is working correctly and giving this guy enough water. It could also be humidity related, since it’s out of its natural habitat. Also, from what you’ve posted about information with this plant, it says that it’s in a 3” pot. Is this correct? If so, that could be a problem as well if it’s root bound. If it’s not, then it’s perfectly fine.
Hey! It is def not in a 3 inch pot lol that was a mistake by me. The pot is about 7”.
I will check if the pot is working correctly, though, and I am working (due to my other plant friends) on getting an humidifier which I guess could help? Thank you so much for taking the time to help, Dayne!
Haha of course! And yes, the humidifier might help with any issues as well. Just make sure he’s getting enough water and he should perk up in no time!
