@mel_dub1: Repotted your plant… and now it looks worse? That doesn’t mean you did anything wrong. When you repot, you disturb the roots — and the plant has to repair that damage before it can grow again. Here’s what that recovery timeline actually looks like: • Most plants: 4–6 weeks • Heavy root disturbance / root pruning: up to 8 weeks • Slow growers (snake plants, ZZs, hoyas): 2+ months During that time, slower growth is completely normal. What matters most right now: • Water thoroughly (until it drains out the bottom) • Let excess water fully drain • Always use pots with drainage Don’t panic — give it time to recover. Save this before your next repot 🌿 #TikTokLearningCampaign #ScienceExplained #tiktoklive #livehighlights

That makes a lot of sense,I started my plant journey with a calathea and I was so nervous. Now two months later she has 3 new leaves 🥹

Top growth stops, but the roots continue on until they are reestablished. Then top growth resumes.

Your point is….? :
So I have a 40 year pothos I’m bringing back to life for a family friend- I repotted months ago and didn’t check roots like I should. She’s shooting growth on one side but looks like some roots are rotted in the middle?? No idea what to do here. 😭
