Did I move this Catt back into the sun too quickly or is it something else? I had it in a shady part of house to admire bloom. Left it there too long and then repotted when new roots were showing. Think its been in bright location about 3 weeks now and unhappy except for new growth. The older leaves are puckering and folding. See pictures below. Whole plant.

It looks very dehydrated to me. I would fill a bowl up with water and soak the plant for about an hour. New bark does not hold water as well as old bark, so you have to water more for a couple of weeks.

My thought as well. You have enough healthy roots so it must be drying out too fast. I boil the bark and soak it for a few hours before using it as it really doesn't hold moisture too well until it has aged a bit.

I agree, I would give it a soak for a while each time you water it for the next few weeks.

Thanks everyone! Soaking is easy. Also thanks for confirming roots are healthy.
