The inside looks ok right now... http://i44.tinypic.com/35ml83r.jpg But when I let go of the spike, there's no lift. It wilts and droops. http://i43.tinypic.com/ehc6mf.jpg The babies: http://i39.tinypic.com/qp2azc.jpg On closer look you can see that each one has had die-back of the entire spike. http://i42.tinypic.com/soaiww.jpg This one has what looks like a strong spike but when you gently squeeze it, it's not firm - you can tell it's starting to go soft. http://i42.tinypic.com/rhir0k.jpg I have the babies in the shade outside (they're getting a bit of morning sun). I just put the adult outside today. The soil is somewhat moist. Maybe I watered it too much after I repotted; I usually don't give too much water because they do better on the drier side. If you suspect it's my soil and I'd better do something now, is it safe to repot with just some of our outside ground soil? We have a bunch of topsoil here (we're digging a project) and our soil is on the acidic side. Or should I just wait on it, does the adult look ok enough to wait longer? I'm afraid to touch the babies (repot) because there's not much left to them. |
