Frosted heart repot/wilt
Hi everyone! I just got this frosted heart a few months and winter weather just set in. It was growing really well and I was considering repotting (get rid of the nursery plastic and put in fresh soil). Im concerned about the yellow leaf, it wilts a few days after watering. Should I remove it? I am just now noticing these
bugs as well if you have any advice/thoughts on repotting?

Oooh those are mealybugs which are absolutely terrible. No wonder that leaf is yellow. Cut it off immediately and treat with neem oil! Mealybugs suck out the sap of the plant and they will kill it. You could have also over watered if it turned yellow after watering. You need to take it out of the pot, hose the whole thing down to help get rid of the bugs, take out all the soil and put it in dry soil. Do not water directly after repotting. It might get transplant shock, but it'll be alright.
You need to cut back on watering as well-- in winter, it takes slower for the soil to dry out and your plant gets overwatered because of that. We're rooting for your plant!!

Hi, after all was said and done, I was only able to save one leaf. It rooted well in water and I moved it to soil a few weeks ago. I’m not entirely sure how to take care of it now so let me know if you have any tips! Thanks!
