Hi all you were right about the color change, as the leaves mature, they did develop a nice green color though a few young leaves are still a brownish purple shade. Theres another strange problem I have had now; All but a few very young leaves are drooping very badly. I tried to give it a good soak last night on someones suggestion and since the water did not drain out completely I assumed it was thirsty and would perk up by morning. Today morning, I just removed it from the pot and lessened the soil and drained it manually. It still doesnt seem to perk up. I have left it in part shade now. The daytime temperature is around 88° nowadays, thats like a good warm day here for us, do you think it can take full sun? I don't understand why its drooping, its gota perfect weather with warm days and cool nights... Cool as in 58-68°F would be cool here. Is that good enough, what do you think is causing the drooping?
