Ok, my plant is starting it's 4th week of life and the leaves at the bottom are starting to wilt and die. The bottom two leaves are just about completely dead, and the 2 above them are starting to show signs they'll do the same.
I was worried about the quality of soil and nutrients used in the planter I received the plant in (it was 2 weeks old) so I transplanted it to fresh garden soil mixed with peatmoss.
I've since used one drop of nutes (10-15-10) in a cup of water and haven't used any other nutrients since. I was worried it might've been the nutes causing the problem so I flushed the new soil.
Only when I flushed the soil did I give it enough water for it to drip out of the bottom.
Is this a heat problem, or am I just not watering the plant enough?
Edit: I was using spring water from a cooler jug, then hose water. Not sure if that screwed up the pH levels but I have nothing to test with yet.
