I wiped them down at mid day and put them on my screened in porch (partial light). Afterwards I separated the three stalk a little further away from each other by adding extra soil. I used happy frog soil.Afterwards I watered it throughtly and added two squirts of indoor liquid plant food(Miracle-Gro) to the pot. Also every other day I turned on the humidifier on them. It must have been too hot the next couple days because by the weekend most of the bottom leaves were yellow and orange. I’m assuming they deep fried:( so I wiped off the neem oil with watered down dawn making sure not to get it on the roots and brought it inside near a window. Now all the leaves have some sort of brown on them. The babies have long brown slits and I really just want to save it. The soil it damp right now but it has a hole underneath for draining and it’s elevated with rocks. I live in the northern Midwest and it just got up to 100 last week. |
