Help - unhappy spider plant

Can anyone help with this? I recently repotted and the plant doesn’t seem to like the new soil (my diagnosis) any other thoughts.
Thanks

It looks to me like little tears in the leaves. Could it have happened when you were re-potting?

Yeah thre are these little tears on every leaf, I guess I'll have to monitor the new growth to see if they develop these tears too.

The leaves "bruise" easily. I also find they tear as the weight of the leaf pulls it down. Apart from the tears, it looks a healthy plant so should have healthy new growth. I wouldn't worry too much.

Me neither. Just give it a little water every day, that seems to be what keeps them happy and bushy.

I find quite a few plants sulk after re-potting. Aspidistras are shocking for this.
