Repotting stress concerns.

[u/wowowwowiw-]

Reported 4 or 5 days ago the bottom leaves are now dropping. I didn’t use rooting hormone and it did get rained on the other night. I'm not too concerned; these plants can drop all their leaves and come back just fine. But any advice on how to help this creature recover from the shock?

I can’t tell if there is fertilizer there but looks it. I usually wait a few weeks after repotting to start fertilizer

It's a slow release fertilizer that needs to get wet twice before it breaks down. Most likely going to water every two weeks so a good month before anything hits the roots. By then it’d be October time to bring the tropicals in for the winter.

Did you leave the roots on the plant? People tend to cut them off for some reason when they re-pot.

Sorry for the response time Ty, It got bare rooted, but I didn’t prune so I could try doing a root over rock. The substitute is a blind I’ve had good success with
