I repotted my Calathea on the weekend and it's looking very sad. It's drooping and the leaves are curling up. I might have damaged the roots while pulling out because I didn't know they so thin and delicate. Online search says they don't like repotting and can be sad for a few days after. Anyone has any experience with them? Does it look like it might bounce back?

I would give it some time. Ensure the soil is moist mine curl up when it needs water or too much light. After repotting keep it out of the light for a while and let it rest and get used to its new pot. You may have some leaf casualties. But it should be fine .

Not sure if the leaves will uncurl BUT they bounce back like a mad man. I got a musaica and it took like 3 weeks to root in the soil. The seller cut some of hers and gave it to me and I notice it started praying a month in! Before it was droopy and sad looking but I just kept watering it like how you’re supposed to and it was fine! I’m sure yours will be the same.
calatheas are always extremely sad. 😁🤣
