A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The House Plant Forum Chinese Evergreen Curling and folding.

What's going on with this thing? I've had it for 2 years no problem and every time this happens it perks up quickly. However, this time it hasn't perked up and it's been 5 hours since I watered it. it can't be root rot cause not enough time has gone by. I did however repot this thing 2 days ago.

are there drain holes in the bottom of the pot??

The water just leaks out from underneath. It was in a pot like this before with no issue. Somebody on another forum did mention a virus and if that's the case I might as well get a new plant. I checked the roots and they look healthy.

could just be shock from being repotted give it time lets see what the next few days bring. doesn't look like any virus to me,,

Now that you mention it I did mess with the roots quite a bit to remove the old dirt. Is there anything else that can be done to improve survival chances. i hope it doesn't lose half it's leaves either.

I would just leave it alone for a few days don't water unless it's necessary. Give it time to "regroup" :wink:

Well I hope the survival rate is high(at least greater than a tree with transplant shock). I also hope it doesn't look terrible after this.
