So would my plant just be super stressed right now? When I did repot it that day I got it, there was a lot more roots that it looks like there would be. I took a look at them to be sure (and I could be overlooking a potential problem) and they weren't mushy or feel like they were in any bad shape. I started thinking it was the media that could be a problem. I know you just said to hold off on repotting it, but before I started this thread, I was thinking of switching it to a more fine grade media for more water retention. I guess that's a bad idea for now?

At this point I would try to keep temperatures moderate, and not let the roots dry out. There is a chance it will make a new growth, and slowly recover.

Thanks! I was confused why it wouldn't post so i kept trying different ways but I think I finally fixed it.
Anywho,
Even though I had already repotted it the day I bought it, should I switch to a more fine grade media? Or would that stress the plant out too much. I've concluded based on everyone's responses that it definitely has to do with the roots and/or problems with watering.
(Thanks everyone for your input btw! It's greatly appreciated)
