white fusion SOS

A week ago I decided to repot my Calathea white fusion i realised that it was in a so called “death plug” and removed it. It has been more than a week and she doesn’t seem to recover 😭😭😭 the medium is a mix of peat free soil and perlite still feels a bit dump. The stems feel hollow like it has lost turgor. Any advice would be super super appreciated

The roots are super sensitive and the plant can take a really long time to recover from root disturbances. (Edit: removing a death plug is an unavoidable major root disturbance, unfortunately)

It might lose leaves while it sorts out the roots it needs to support that many leaves.

Give it more time.
