Hi all. Went to bed with four happy girls, checked them this morning, one is in some very sad feels...
All were watered same time same amount this morning. Checked the pot it's soaking. However...
She is different from her sisters in only one way I can see. One root has pushed out of the fabric and grown instead of pruning, and there was a huge long knot of leaves half a foot long down into the reservoir. Would having constant roots in that water allow it to Overwater, or just suck up shitty water? I suppose if it's run off it could be sucking up a bunch of salts which could damage the root system?
In any case I've pulled the root out and left it sitting on the dry tray above the res, in preparation to cut it off if folks agree that's what I should do? Given its the only thing different about this lady I'm betting it's salts being sucked up into the roots from the res tray. Anyone got opposing theory?
And yes I know she looks thirsty. That's why I'm thinking it's salts being pulled up and stopping them getting a proper drink. Any help appreciated all!
