I did accidentally break one claw and I cut off one broken leaf.

Probably just getting adjusted. Was there root damage during the repotting process? Where do you live? Northern or Southern hemisphere? If southern, it could be going dormant.

There was no root damage, and they looked beautiful. Northern hemisphere, I live in Southwest Florida to be exact, so I wasn't expecting dormancy in April, but I admit that nights are colder than it was inside. And the stock should feel cool to the touch, right? Plus it got more light inside, and my patio area gets much more sun in the winter and now it's mostly shady, maybe 3 hours of full sun. I just have no idea what I'm doing with these particular plants, before I would just stick them in soil and they'd grow, but after killing two cuttings I'm not so sure anymore.

Thanks to both of you. I over worry all the time, but your thoughts have calmed me. I'll let it get used to its new surroundings. The leaves droop when the sun is overhead, is that a red flag of unhappiness?

The leaves only droop full sun, morning and night they are more perky.

And in the morning

So against your advice, I decided this morning that the soil was staying too wet and that I needed to act fast and get it into soil that wouldn't hold so much water. To my surprise, I noticed white roots growing off of some of what I thought was dried roots that I didn't prune when I repotted. Luckily I was really careful when I was digging, and immediately recovered the roots when I saw them. I guess everything really was working as it was supposed to, and it's just getting used to the new location and soil conditions. Now just to resist messing with it. Should I still only water when the soil is very dry?

If it's wilting after a repot, I would give it more shade until it is established. That would probably only be a few weeks to a month for you. Water carefully, when the soil is dry in the top inch or so. Once it gets growing (you'll know), then pick up watering.

At this point it seems to me like adjustment issues. I try to keep adjusting plants out of full sun and water as needed for about two weeks.

I think so too. I also wasn't watering enough for being in full sun, once in around four days, and even then it was rather sparse. Like I said, very cautious to not over water. Plus, it went directly inside after I bought it, in fact all the leaves that are on it now grew inside during winter with probably not enough light, so it makes sense that it's acting like this.

I find this happens when I take overwintered plants from inside the house--where they have nice warm nights--to outside in spring when the nights are cooler. It'll be fine, but don't mess with it too much as it's trying to grow now.

I think that is exactly what happened jandey1. The good news is that in the end I left it alone, and the leaves are growing now. I'm so glad that I didn't mess with it, and start changing soil and take it out of the pot again, I probably would have done more damage than good. I also think I was under watering, even though I was so concerned that I was over watering. Yesterday I made sure to water in the morning, and the leaves didn't droop nearly as much when in full sun.

Sounds like you have it under control!!! ;-)

When we all first see the sun after winter, we have to adjust too!!!

Great advise from above.. Glad that its starting to adjust!!

Our temps are still up and down , so my trees are still inside.. Ugh!

Cory, glad it's bouncing back for you!

Been almost a week. This picture is not at quite the same angle as the first post, but you can definitely see the growth.

It looks happy, if the leaves don't drop anymore during the high heat/sun, you can start acclimating to more and more sunlight hours

With the temps the way they have been here, if it's growing leaves, I water it daily. If it's not, it gets watered only when dry on top.

I have been watering once a day now, and it's growing like a weed. I'm sorry to keeping posting growing leaves, but I like the pictoral progression. I'm amazed at how much it can grow in one day.

It has a very tiny inflo growing! I have no idea what color it will be, so it will be fun to see as it grows. I tried to take a picture, but it was hard to see with all the leaves around it.

Congrats. Please post when it blooms.
