Well, I'm one of the emergency recovery growers, it seems. hehehe I have 8 plants and two of them are in dire circumstances. There are no leaves on them anymore, and the trunk/stem is brown. One of the plants is doing wonderfully, and the others seem to all be suffering from this damned browning of the leaves. I have two plants (the first ones I ever got) that haven't grown much at all since I got them, and all of the leaves are greenish yellow, instead of the dark green the healthy plant has, and the leaves actually drop off the plant on their own. I mean the whole stem and the leaf together drop off. I wish the other plants I have would be doing as well as the one beautiful one. I'm doing nothing different with them at all. They are all in the same humidity tent, I brought them inside this week because it has been getting down in the high 40's here, and I didn't want them to die. I transplanted the soil last week on several of them because after reading this thread, I realized I was completely over watering them. I literally "wringed" our the soil with my hand just to see how wet it was, and water poured out. SO...that problem should be gone now. I have my timer set to water them once a week now, and I'm hoping I see some better results.
Thanks for all the posts in this thread regarding the care of our plants. I appreciate it greatly, and I hope that I'll eventually get things under control. I also hope the person who started this thread has the best of luck with their plant as well.
