Possibly from over watering and or poor ventilation...

That looks exactly the problem.

I think it is probably overwatering. It's amazing how little water a cactus needs, and I guess with the RH being quite high it will need even less. We uppotted it in the last year or so so perhaps it is sitting on wet feet. Much thanks for that whodat, I think you nailed it for us. LEts see what MK's Super Cactus Granny Guru comes back with.

Awesome, have a good one vegger.

p.s planted some potatoes but nothing has come up yet. Not sure if it'll work but we shall see. Anyone grown potatoes indoors before? (like at a windowsill)

Some plants like Lucky bamboo if they are starting to just shrivel up from lack of water they can be brought back to full health.

Is the pot big enough bassman? I can't really give much advice on peppers I have only grown one and it got munched by greenfly.

No DST the pot is way too small, but I dont have funds for better this round unfortunately.
Next season is gonna be a raised bed. I did re-pot it into a slightly bigger pot, and added some verry quick drying Sunshine mix4 all around the current shitty dirt. I also mixed in a lil humus.
This is the 1st time I transplanted without watering.
She is back up this morning and looking happy again!!

----- October 10th, 2011 Lemon Basil update -----


My lemon basil got to tall for my AeroGarden and it was almost starving the rest of the plants in it so I had to put it into its own DWC system. Also Here's a pic of what the root system for it looks like. I also had to bend the branches to make it lower.
