Have you transplanted yet? If not - why? Soil used? And the other stuff asked above? Too much nutrient feed for one thing.

that thing needs a life preserver, i would hold off on the h2o for about 3 days, then a good flushing and then start with the nutes next water unless of course you use mg soil.
 
hi, I water when the leaves start drooping and soil feels hard. water till it comes out of drain

after transplant I had watered throughly till it came from the drain. thr plant was not fully dry before trsnsplant. input water ph was 7.4 and drained water ph was 5.6.


I had also cut off excess roots from bottom and sides with a knife (saw this on some site). the plant was root bound.

I did not feed them nutes but the soil I used for repotting had nutes mixed in.. 22-6-6...its the same soil as before and other plants seem to be happy.
 
not good enough drainage in the dirt... i see no vermiculite and your dirt looks too hot looking at the one behind it, clawing and leaf turning yellow. thats the way a plant flips you off, its mad at you. let the dirt dry out. Id re plant it in something that drains better. and get that bitch some silica!!! makes them more resilient and stronger

humidity is also too high.. not helping the over watering issue.
 
so is there still life left in her?

Soil details: where I live I cannot get branded soil so I have to rely on the local gardening store which sell their own mix. they have coco peat, vermicompost and neem cake mixed in. I additionally added 10-20 gms of nutes in the mix before transplanting. the pack says TG 22-5-6.

I may have overdone it with nutes. I read that after transplant the plants needs good watering which I did. (so might be over watering).

current status:
leaves very brittle, curling up and along the sides (like rolling a paper)
earlier it was my biggest plant but now leaves all look smaller due to curling and drooping. top of plant also drooping so I tied to a stake. humidity is about 50% now.

please let me know if you need any other info to help me out.

EDIT: I may have damaged the taproot during transplant. Does it look like it?

She will bounce back.

I never ever ever mess with the roots while transplanting. You probably shocked her good. Whatever you chopped from the roots you will probably lose equal mass in foliage because it can't support it.
Just back off on the watering. Try to get your humidity down and let er recoup.
 
thanks for the tip. it was really stupid of me to mess with the roots. I hope she lives...

do I need to constantly spray water on the leaves to make sure they dont die due to transpiration? (since root was cut)
 
I read on this forum that ph of soil is average of in and out.. so my soil seems to be of the right ph ... 6.5

question is what are diy methods to lower the ph of water? would lemon juice be fine?
 
I made another transplant because I realized that the new pot was too big and would retain more water. I thought its better to do it now (day 1) than to shock it again. Full pics below. Now the leaves are turning brown on edges and curling up and sideways. Looks totally fucked.. Im too stressed over this because this seems to be the only female out of 5.

one day before transplant:

Like I said, you are going to lose some foliage. You want to keep an eye on any grow tips. Like the tip of the stem where new leaves are comming out. If it keeps pushing out new leaves you are fine. If you got any superthrive or vitimin B-1 , the next time you water hit her with it.

It will take a few days for her to recover but she will. In a few weeks she will be standing proud. And there is no need to spray water on her leaves. You are more likely to do harm than good at this point. Especially with your humidity.
