What’s going on there. I removed one stem with roots from the main pot and potted in separate pot. It’s not too dry but the leaves look dehydrated. What can I do to save it.

Whenever you repot into new soil, the soil should get a watering if it's dry, otherwise the plant will be dry too. In case you hadn't watered the new soil when you planted it ^^'

It might also be transplant shock. Have patience ^^

Is this the parent plant or the piece you replanted in a separate pot? Either way, curled leaves is usually underwatering, too hot, or the humidity is too low.

@ToughChangunga if it doesn't perk up after watering, it might need higher humidity or to be moved further away from the light source. I noticed your plant card says it's outside, is that correct? If so, make sure it's somewhere shady where the sun doesn't hit it. Especially the afternoon sun, which is more intense than morning sun, but ideally it won't get hit with any direct sun 😛 As for the humidity, if your space is lower than average (under 50% or so), you might consider setting up a small humidifier close to the plant.
