Hi Vicky, I'm totally unscientific about it too, and I prefer it that way. I fertilize when I remember and have time -- about once or twice a month, but that is with the liquid water-soluable MiracleGro fertilizer. My potting soil has fertilizer in it too so the plant gets fed when I re-pot. I also use a supplement once or twice a month also, which goes on as a foliar feed. The leaves can vary from plumie to plumie, depending upon the variety, but for the most part, they are dark green and held fairly stiffly. Here are some of my seedlings pictured below from last year. I was looking for a good picture of how the leaves should look and came across this one. Plumies love water in hot weather. If drainage is good, you can water them every day. My potting soil dries out every day so I water ever day in the summer and fall and water less in winter. I think that, with a little regular watering and feeding, your plumie should perk up just fine.
