As I recover, I\'ve realized that this plant is very important to me, and I\'m doing my best to revive it. Will you please help me? As much information as I can think of: This past winter killed most of the original stems, but the roots from one of the plants survived, and new growth began. Moving trauma and what I believe to have been wilt disease almost killed the new stuff i repotted the plant in new soil, and gave it a liquid copper treatment. plant has revived, but the soil was 30% nitrogen. I should have known better than to use it, but I was in a hurry to get it out of the old soil. Now, I think the plant has chemical burn. The soil is slow release. the roots were thick. possibly too thick for the current pot. I\'ve included a picture. I want to repot in soil that is more suited to the plant and possibly trim the roots, but I don\'t want to stress the plant further. What is your advice? |
