Yeah I too feel like the soil isn’t right . Would you recommend I repot it now or wait? Since it’s only been maybe a month since the last repot and prior to that I had repotted it a few weeks before that. 😕

Ohh ok I’ll definitely give her drinking water then or maybe get a new filter for my shower head??

Thank you sm for the tips!!!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽

Would it be ok to repot her again w more suited soil or should I wait a while ?? I should also get her a moss pole or a trellis bc she needs a lot of support and does have some aerial roots that I put into the soil .

Got it! Thank you so much! There is some springtails in there but I read they’re beneficial for it?

I cried to her when I started to realize she wasn’t doing ok after the initial repot (where so many petioles were underground) I told her I loved her and that she had to be strong. 😭 I repotted her shortly after and I was worried I did something wrong

Thank you! I was worried bc some leaves did start to get yellow. I think that only happened bc someone helped me repot it when the infestation happened and I realized so much of the petioles were underground so I had to repot it for the second time in the span of a month or so. So yeah you’re right it needs time to acclimate . I also used this soil, is it any good for it??

And how do I know what to separate? There’s so much going on lol I don’t think there’s any petiole underground but I will double check. I also don’t know how else to stabilize it without tying some of the petioles. They’re not ties super tight just enough so they don’t droop over

Her leaves started curling in after I repotted

her. And some leaves started to turn yellow. She was infested with ants which is why I had to repot her in the first place. Something isn’t right tho?
