hello everyone, for about a week now the following plant has been giving me problems, it is a bit discolored and floppy and has these shiny leaves curled downward. At first I thought it was a bit of a genetic problem since the first shoots downward had a bit of variegation and were a bit twisted and had some non-serrated leaves, then I thought it was due to the fact that the plant was in a small pot and wanted to be transplanted, and I also thought about a lack of fertilizer since before transplanting I just give some rooting agent and then transplant directly into prefertilized potting soil but I don't know what it could be anymore (I transplanted two days ago) if not some pest or directly broad mites. .. Can anyone help me with a diagnosis?
I have already checked the leaves with a microscope but found nothing of concern.
I've checked a bit on the net but I'm getting confused dayo I find countless photos that for the most part don't look like my case. HELP!!!

I've never had broad mites, but this doesn't look like the pics I see of infested plants. If they suddenly started looking like this after transplanting, I would guess it was related to that.

Before doing anything drastic, I'd wait a day or two.

Hi,mites would be obvious under the leaves, and silver streaks,maybe you have a PH or feeding problem

Hi thank you so much for answering , anyway no only this one gave problems even before transplanting it.. it was the biggest one and since they were in small pots I thought it was suffering stress also because I always saw it more floppy than the others and the pot was drying after a day from watering. I thought it was also related to lack of nutrients since the plant only received rooting since it was put in Plagron's Royal Mix which covers me 6 weeks of fertilization. I checked all over the internet today but the only thing in common with the other photos are the shiny leaves...I read that they should attack the new shoots right away but on top it looks okay.
I'm getting these doubts because I posted the same photos on rollitup and they said the symptoms looked like that but I checked under the leaves for 3 hours with the microscope without finding anything

Hello! I checked under the leaves with a good microscope but couldn't find anything after hours...the top seems fine and as far as I read it should be the most affected area.
It could also be a pH imbalance but it seems strange since I keep an eye on it all the time.... Anyway as I said above I thought it was just from lack of nutrients and because the pot was too small but out of curiosity I asked the same question on rollitup yesterday and they said it would look like them

It seems strange to me that I haven't seen a single one by mistake.

I was just looking at how soft the leaves look etc and thought it was because they weren't taking in food,either due to Ph or the nutes not cutting it in some way. i think you're on the money with lack of nutes. Perhaps try GH 3 part some time,it costs a bit more but may solve your feeding and you have a lot more control. You can see mites with the naked eye. Good luck

Thank you so much for the tip I will keep it in mind! however I usually start with unfertilized soil in small pots giving only pirahna from advanced nutrients, let them root and put them in 17 liter air pots with Royal mix soil Which I buy 6 weeks with fertilization, then when I see it starts to get hungry I start with advanced nutrients flowering fertilizers. This time I didn't have time to transplant and besides being tight they were starting to get hungry but usually everything goes great
