yes absolutely!

no yellowing or anything on the big leaf. today after I repotted last night it looks kind of droopy.

So it looks from the pic that you cut off the dying shoot, good.

I know this is an expensive plant so I am just telling you what I would do because at this point I would be concerned I would loose the plant. This is just my experience with this plant and ultimately you must do what you feel is best. If the leaf starts yellowing I would pull it from the soil, inspect the roots again and stick it in water for additional roots to develop. They root reasonably fast. I would just leave it alone for now and see what happens. Your soil looks ok, I would not let it get too dry. Hopefully another shoot will develop. Mine is continually pushing out new shoots. Here is one I propagated. If you look closely you will see a new shoot coming up.

Hi there, first off thanks so much for your great advice!! I did not cut off the dying shoot. The photo may be hard to see, sorry. But the shoot is still on the plant. I was unsure if I should cut it off or let nature take its course and I also don't know where to cut off the shoot. I only cut off the dying roots. Should I cut off the shoot? I will definitely keep my eye out for yellowing and will follow your advice. Thank you so much for you help. You have a beautiful plant! Hopefully mine can recover and grow that large one day.

Thank you. I had to look at the pic again because the shoot looks like the bark. I would cut off the dead part (the brown) of the shoot to keep it from spreading further. Make sure your snippers are wipe with alcohol. Hopefully the shoot will just harden off if it hasn’t already and nothing else will need to be done. Ellen

Gloriosum is a slow grower but for the most part is an easy forgiving plant to grow. Give it time and patience and you will be rewarded. I don't know how many years I have had mine (got it in a trade many years ago) but I've been able to start it many times with not a lot of fanfare.

Yes, as much as I want to mess with it daily to help it get better I also realize that doing too much is just as bad. Sometimes we just have to let it be haha. I see yours grow outside. Have you ever tried growing them inside? The more I think about it, I believe I had a lack of airflow in the room and the humidifier right next to it. So maybe that contributed to bacteria growth that caused rotting. Hopefully it'll bounce back! Yours are stunning!!

I take mine outdoors for summer (May through October) and then in the basement under lights for the rest of the months. They do okay indoors but outdoors they do so much better IMO.

Yours growing outside is nice! What is your zone? I am in western Wa, day temps can be fine and night temps can get too extreme here to leave things outside, wish I could😂

Ok so update on what I think caused the rotting. I finally cleaned out the terracotta pot that the gloriosum was in. Come to find out there was a sticker on the bottom obstructing the drainage hole!!!! I didn't even think to check that! Such a stupid (and expensive) mistake. At least I can pinpoint the problem now to prevent it from happening again. So mad at myself!

😜 Don’t beat yourself up too much. We can all relate to mistakes we’ve made with our plants.

Ellen,

I am in the Atlanta area so we have hot humid summers. Not Florida hot and humid but you'd think we were Florida if you were here. I can move plants out late April and leave them out to Halloween (most anyway). I do take philodendrons in before most others as they seem more sensitive (at least the leaves do show cold damage).

Thank you for coming back to report what you found. This could very well help someone else in the future, including myself! I would not have guessed a sticker either!
