  • Thank you also for the very detailed reply - from those options I think 1) and 2) are unlikely in my case - it’s a pre-fertilised compost designed for cannabis and should still have enough nutrients (plus during various stages of panicking I added N-Rich fertiliser (Fish mix) and no change occurred). This leaves 3, which has been the suggestion of others as well - although from your explanation I’ll be careful about reusing compost and will use new compost and add further fertiliser if required.





  • Deep rooters! I’ve just done some repotting before reading your reply, actually downsized slightly and added a lot of drainage as the roots were basically nonexistent and I’m trying to force myself to not overwater now. When the colour returns and the repotting stress has passed I’ll follow your advice and go directly to the “final” pot size.


  • Thank you again :-) I have been watering when the pot is light, and the top cm or so is dry, not letting it sit in water but watering enough that the water runs through. I’ve spare compost and perlite, so I’ll try quickly repotting, in case the soil’s now too compressed/waterlogged, then follow your suggestion re the watering frequency and try and forget about the plant a little!




  • Thank you! I’ve hopefully added a picture. I suspect that you’re right - every time I mention the plants my wife rolls her eyes….

    I’m leaving the flower pot until it feels light, then watering well, and the water drains freely. The top layer of soil currently feels “sticky” after being watered a day ago - I also check that the top 1-2 cm is dry before watering. I’ll resist any further fertilisation unless the photo makes people think there’s a nutrient problem.












  • Sorry - not sure how to reply to individual points but:

    Yep, got an otterbox case, but would probably be more relaxed if they made one that my 2 year old could fit in!

    My photography is to - mostly - capture said toddler’s life, not share socially, so image quality still important to me.

    Sadly there’s a rather important “can’t transfer between iOS and android” point in the link you kindly shared.

    And yes, perhaps a contradiction, but only if you consider those points as customisation rather than - as I did - a minimum quality/standard. Still, there it is, one person’s expectation is another’s luxury!
