Q.I’m Not Sure What’s Wrong G With China Doll. Leaf Tips Turning Brown And Crunchy, New Growth Turning Black, Leaves Turning Pale
yellow. China doll was doing really well this spring but leaves started turning yellow and tips brown. It is in a plastic container with poor drainage and soil. Can I repot it in Terra cotta and use different soil? It was under a ceiling fan briefly but I moved it cuz of the draft. Now it is very unhappy.

I would not repot it. They are very picky about change, and will not tolerate it, very well. I would allow it to recover by keeping it in stable conditions. This article will help:
