It' probaly a plant in a 2' pot that looks to big to be in it. Do you have/find the larger pot I sent ? I Grow my mini's in them for life just when I transplant them into new 2" pots change soil and groom as needed. Some Semi-minatures I grow in 2" pots for most of it's life. Most
of all my babies that leave Mom leaf goes into a 2" pot . You may want to check your list as you go along and see what the plant is , mini, semi, standard..so on and you'll know when it wll need a larger po. 99 percent of the time I just go one size at a time except the plant
grew crazy and got away from me !!! I follow the 1/3 " rule as close as possible The pot being one third the size of the plant this helps me
no t over pot the plant .
I also half the amount of recommended fertilizers .
Have fun !!!
