Picked up a $4 Optimara that was feelin "blue" (get it, ha. ha.).

I cut off really bad leaves and stems, left a few on that were bent but otherwise still alive, don't want to trim off too much.

Does it look dehydrated to you? It had a decent looking bloom yesterday that is now all limp and sad looking. I also am noticing that not all leaves are the same, that can happen in AVs right? Like some are serrated and red on the bottom while others, especially one of them, have no red coloring and actually has a little bit of verigation and the leaves aren't serrated.

Anyway here are some pics, let me know if anything looks wrong to you, like if the crown is too tight or something. I found a sucker starting to form, I'll probably let it grow a little bit longer before repotting it, that way the sucker will be slightly bigger, the plant will be in less shock and I won't lose all of the buds that I have right now. If this is a bad idea let me know.
