Its pretty early/late, but i just got batteries for my camera, so i had to post this. This is gonna be kind of long.
I transplanted my plants on wednesday, today being sunday, and Ive been having trouble with them ever since. The soil i transplanted in was pretty moist, but i watered them anyways, just to kind of break the soil in. I figured they could handle it, but they started drooping slightly the next day. I hoped if i let them dry out for a couple days it would fix itself, but it ended up just getting worse. the top few inches of soil were pretty dry after like 3 days but my moisture meter was still at 9-10 like halfway down.
I was almost convinced that overwatering was the problem, but from everything ive heard, testing the top two inches is a common way to tell when to water. The problem kept geting worse, so I watered two of the worse looking plants to see how it reacted. About 6 hours later i checked back on them and they had perked up dramatically. I got pretty excited so i watered all of the rest pretty well, then went to work.
Unfortunately, it seems to have only gotten worse, except for one of the plants i watered first, which is still doing well.
Also, on some of them, a couple of the leaves are turning brown/yellow on the very tips, i mean like, barely, and a couple of them have a some bigger burns. I have no idea what its from, but none of the burns seem to be progressing anymore. most of the burns were from before i repotted if i remember correct.
They havent really grown much at all during this whole time. except for the other one that i watered first (not the one that perked up, this one is still droopy, but it grew some.)
