Blazy_amber 19 3 Jul 4, 2022 #1 Hey. My plants have been outside for about 3 weeks now. We've just had a spell of cooler weather and have realised one of my plants looks very sick. I have them in nutrient rich soil with chicken manure (amazing nitrogen rich fertiliser) On of my plants doesn't seem to be growing like the others and the leaves are turning purple?? I've read online that maybe it's due to the cold nights we had?? It did reach 9°c some nights.. luckily its warming up now. Anyway, any tips on how to get this (hopeful) girl thriving again would be appreciated.
