How much water did you give
What do you recommend for the drooping and also the leaves that are yellowing at the bottom?He put the weather on the first page! Looks like 70s but 85% humidity! That 85 is probably killing him! A plant in that shape isn’t transpiring much and the pot will take a long time to evaporate dry! Especially HF with no added perlite!
It’s up to you to determine whether that soil is soaking wet or dry! However, you wanna go about doing it! Whatever it takes! If you dumped a half gallon on it, I would think you would see some improvement. Even slight!What do you recommend for the drooping and also the leaves that are yellowing at the bottom?
The yellowing towards the bottom is normal. It's probably a little more extreme since its not up taking probably.What do you recommend for the drooping and also the leaves that are yellowing at the bottom?
Plants go through less water in high humidity. There is too much 'pressure' outside for the stomata to open properly, so less water is cycled through.The yellowing towards the bottom is normal. It's probably a little more extreme since its not up taking probably.
Like Nick said give it about 1.5 gallons for that size pot. But only you know how dry that soil is. Get a meter if your not sure.
As long as your not seeing much run off when your watering, you should be okay.
That humidity isn't helping at all but they should be able to manage those conditions (for a little while) as long as your giving them enough water.
I had one and relied on it for a couple years when I was growing in pots. They work well enough.I am a fan of moisture meters also! I know a lot aren’t! I use mine all the time and 35 gallon pots! Especially for the newer grower! You could probably snag one today if you have a grow Store down there! Or maybe even Wally world! Might be the best 15 bucks you ever spent!
I gave it less than half a gallon of water.How much water did you give it?
It's a 7 gallon bag. I gave it less than half a gallon yesterday. Today the plant is looking worse the daytime temps have been low to mid 70s and humidity is 77 today but sometimes high as 80swhat size bags?
how much water you give?
daytime temps and humidity?
Yes.Are my rookie eyes jumping to conclusions ?
I'm sure it's root bound but it's in a 7 gallon pot. I just didn't want the plant to get to big. If I put it in a larger pot it would get enormousIt's going to dry up again if you don't get the right size container. 100% that plant is root bound.
It will be alright in that 7 gallon one.. Just keep up with the watering, it will drink a lot more once it really gets going again.I'm sure it's root bound but it's in a 7 gallon pot. I just didn't want the plant to get to big. If I put it in a larger pot it would get enormous
