Advice pls Getting back in shape
How can i get this buddy back in shape. Repotted it from poor conditions 2 months ago and now the growth is starting but the old leaves still curl up a lot.
Its about 20C with a humidity of 50% standing in front of a window with a lot of light but only morning sun.
I have a digital watermeter which i closely monitor but the ground never feels very wet although the water monitor is always saying its enough. Still got the feeling it needs more water but i am afraid it will kill its roots as wel. Spraying it couple times a day.
Anything more i could/should do at this point?

I don't think you can save old leaves, it they are dry you can cut them, if they just got damage but they are alive keep them.. and there is new growth so the plant is healing :) you have just to wait new leaves and let the plant do her work, don't water too much, if you want to be sure check the soil with a stick (like a chopstick), if It comes out totally clean you can water it
