Normal or not normal?
#Philodendron Hi everyone! I bought this silver sword over the previous weekend. I was told it was recently repotted by the nursery owner and to wait a month or two before I do, so I currently have it sitting in its originally container, just inside of a bigger vase. the leaves are starting to droop downwards. I have bottom watered it, it’s not in direct sun but within 2 ft of the window. Is this just a symptom of it acclimating and getting used to its new environment? Or is there something i need to do?
3ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

It's normal. Likely the nursery has it in way brighter conditions than your home, especially given the plant is 3ft away from a window. It's adjusting from a bright condition to slightly dimmer condition until it hits a balance. The number of leaves it can hold depends on how much light is available. Not to worry. It'll adjust soon
Philodendron thrive in bright indirect light and a few feet from the window isn’t going to give it the light that it needs/wants. Does the planter on the outside have drainage holes? If not, it could be at risk for root rot, even if the planter from the nursery does have drainage.
