On this easter sunday, will someone please help me resurrect these babies?
I'm babysitting. I have no idea what I'm doing other than what the daddy told me to do. Unfortunately, I think I'm killing two of his babies. Possibly all of them.
I'm really no enthusiast, to be honest, I pretty much know how to keep "normal" plants alive, but that's about it.
I have been doing research and reading this website for the past three days, so now I have half a clue about growing, but no idea what's going on here.
Details:
1) Picture attached
2) Growing indoors in soil
3) Watering 3 times a day
4) Soil
5) Babies? The dying ones are tiny... The leaves are shriveled and dry - but not all of them, just the biggest ones. The stem is thick and sturdy, which is why I thought they might be able to be resurrected.
The other two in the picture seem to be fairing better. It is good to note they were transported to a different place entirely right before I started taking care of them, so maybe they're in shock? But I thought they'd get over it by now.
They are kept in temps between 74-81 F and humidity around 55-60% There's a humidifier in there, and the light is pretty close (maybe 1.5 feet away) which I'm thinking maybe its too close?
I know NOTHING about all the talk of Phosphorus and Nitrogen and all that - I've taken organic chemistry in college, but that's about it. In terms of plants, i've done a lot of reading but I'm still clueless.
Alright...if you've actually made it through this entire post, any advice? I'd really hate for him to come home from vacation to dead plants...
1)how much in mL should I be watering, and how often?
2)what shoud the pH be, could that be a problem?
3)is the light too low? too hot?
4)Is it a mineral deficiency? I read through all the posts about deficiency but I can't tell which picture corresponds to a plant looking pretty much dried out and dead...
5)could it just be shock from the move 3 days ago and i just have to keep giving them love and wait it out?
