Reviving this thread as I also need some advice on my ailing polka dot plant (pics below). I don't have before pics, but my little polka dot plant was thriving - I got it last month and though it was already a healthy plant, it perked up considerably and got bigger. This weekend, I noticed that the roots were significantly growing out through the holes in the plastic pot it came in from the nursery. I repotted it yesterday into tapla's gritty mix (@tapla - I've been reading these forums quite a bit since starting up my house plant collection early this year and your posts have been so informative!). Today, it looks very sad and droopy and the leaves feel very delicate and soft, which was not the case yesterday prior to the repot. I'm new to plants generally so this is the first time I've repotted a plant, but this is what I did for the repot: - Took as much soil off as possible with my hands and then tried to wash off the rest of the soil so the roots were mostly bare/clean - Put it into a slightly bigger planter than the plastic nursery planter it came in - the new planter has a drainage hole - I watered the new mix after I put the plant in, which I'm now thinking I shouldn't have done I'm not sure what exactly to do now. It's located in the same spot it was before when it was doing well so is getting the same amount of light and temperature. I don't know if it needs a few days to adjust as I've noticed that this plant reacts pretty quickly to changes. For example, prior to the repot, it would perk up considerably after being watered even though it wasn't at all droopy prior to being watered. Any suggestions on what to do? Did I do something incorrect during the repot? Did I overwater it and it just needs some time to dry out? Is my new pot too big? Is the gritty mix not the right mix for this plant? Does it just need time to adjust? Did I need to arrange the roots a certain way in the new planter? (Sorry, so many questions running through my head!)

I suspect the polka dot plant and the rosemary have different water requirements. To keep the polka dot plant alive you will probably need to overwater the rosemary. FataMorgana

It should be fine. Plants usually have no problems bypassing and repairing damage.

Move it away from heating or AC element (it seems to be sitting on one). Otherwise, probably not worth buying a humidifier or putting multiple evaporation sources in your house for a polka-dot plant (imo). Guess you could buy it a terrarium.
