Hey guys!
I'm pretty new to being a plant parent and my elephant ear is giving me suchhhhh a hard time. She's getting plenty of light but about 2 days ago, I seen she developed thrips. I rushed to the store to pick up captain jacks insecticidal soap. I took her straight to the bath tub blasted her with the shower head and then sprayed her leaves and stems down like a crazy person. I looked closer at her soil and seen a bunch of different bugs. So I decided it'd be best to just repot her completely. I repotted her and sprayed down her roots to make sure all the soil was off. I figured to not water her again because I blasted her with the shower head but I think that may have been a mistake. She's completely wilted and not doing well. I watered her thoroughly last night but I'm not sure if I should just cut off her leaves or if she'll come back to life gradually. Her leaves are still green but lifeless! Help :(
