Lara -

You did everything right. Hopefully your "fresh dirt' is light - AVs like a lot of air in their soil.
It seems that the conditions were wrong - and you remedied the situation. I would put a leaf down just in case - so you have new babies.

Good luck

Irina

Thank you Irina!

I do believe the new dirt is light enough; it's AV potting mix, and is pretty springy. All my other babies do well in it. You know, in pots that drain...
And of course, the thing that other pot didn't let him have was air in the soil. GAAAH.

I will see if any of his leaves look like likely sprout makers; most of the big leaves are firm but pretty light on the chlorophyll. Do you know if the plant can remedy that, or if those leaves are just done being helpful?

Thanks again for the encouragement/info.

First - if it is AV potting mix from Violet Showcase - it is great, if it is from Home Depot - it needs at least 1/3 perlite added, better more.

The leaves can look ugly - but if they are green - they still produce. So you can remove them earlier or later - up to you - they will possibly improve - but never be as good as new.

Good Luck and Happy Blooming
