Rhapis Palm needs help!!

[aieshap]

Hey, so my palm isn't doing so well. She was repotted, into a pot the next size up from what she's in now (probably too big) and I used the indoor Potting mix I had left over. 

It stayed pretty moist down the bottom and she started to get a little droopy. So I added perlite and some orchid bark (guy at the nursery said it "can't do any harm"?) And repotted back to the pot it's in now.

Now she's looking like she's really in need of some help.

What can I do to get her back up again??

I asked the guy at the nursery for loamy Soil and he said it's usually only if they're in the ground, not in pots? 

Any advice is appreciated, thanks

Rhapis palms need very fast draining soils and don’t like wet feet. — I would repot the palm into the former container and add lots of LECA to the soil.

That pot is sitting w/o a basin? Does it have drain holes?

Another Question: How did/do you water it? Maybe it simply dried out?

My first thought is also lack of water. If the palm was pot bound and the root ball very compacted and you simply took it out of its original pot and put it in a bigger one with the space around the sides filled with a much more free-draining (or simply more absorbent and not compacted) medium, the water will take the path of least resistance down the new medium and not get to the palm. I have killed plants in this way; I think they are getting plenty of water but it's all going to the new medium where they have no roots and they wilt to death.

Alternatively, if you broke up/disturbed the original root ball when repotting, the palm might be in shock from this. It's difficult to tell without knowing what you did when you repotted the palm and how quickly it started wilting.
