Yesterday when I went to water, it occurred to me that it hasn’t popped any new leaves, where all my other species have been since uncovering or the return to outside. I then noticed that the pseudostem is a little soft. Softer than it was when I repotted. It was rock hard then. For the most part the plant overall looks “normal”. A slight yellow hue in color, but mostly green.

Is it possible that between the location movement, coming out of dormancy, and the repotting that maybe it’s just in shock? I’m really looking for another opinion before I start panic hacking at it looking for rot.


Will post pictures when I figure out how! Thanks for reading my novel of a post!!
Give the plant the sniff test.
Become concerned if it has a peculiar odor that does not smell like grandmas fresh baked cookies

More than likely the plant is having a rough start getting that first leaf out.

Edit....After looking closer with the new photos the plant looks almost normal fo a plant brought outdoors.
