@Livfitzg your plant looks severely wilted, which is probably because it’s too close to the window and may potentially have root shock from transplanting. What kind@of soil did you use? These plants like a well draining soil that doesn’t dry out to quickly. I have mine in peat soil with perlite and orchid bark. This plant is notorious for wilting when it is not receiving enough humidity or moisture and if it’s getting too much sun, and not enough water, it will droop terribly sort of like a peace lily. To help it recover, I’d move it way from that window by a few feet but ensure it is still in bright indirect light. keep the soil consistently moist but not saturated or soggy. They hate wet feet (roots) don’t They are also sensitive to tap water, so using distilled, filtered or rainwater is best when watering. I have mine under grow lights. It’s 8 ft to an East window. She’s doing great. Sometimes after you transplant, the roots will go into shock and the plant will look droopy for days. I use super thrive when that happens and the transplant shock goes away.
@Shells_Garden I am using a mix of perlite, orchid Bark and indoor potting mix it. It usually doesn’t sit on the window sill just moved it there for the photo, it sits about 2.5m (8ft) away from my east facing window and it sits in indirect light and, I usually collect rain water though my tap water isn’t too treated so it also doesn’t show much affect to my plants if I need to use it. I keep regular attention to the moisture of the soil so I was quite concerned when I noticed this. I will pick up some thrive and see how that goes.
I’m talking about a all round fertilizer
