Hi all... I am once again calling for some help! I got a whole bunch of plants and re-planted them all in planter pots... I used miracle grow soil for potted plants... they were all doing amazing for two weeks, but now anything I have planted starts wilting and breaking around the edges and bottom... does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? I replanted some basil and one whole plant wilted in this fashion, but the one little plant I left in its flat is doing fine... could this be some sort of parasite? or the soil? I am following all the watering/care intsructions... does anyone have any thoughts? I'm so sad
:(
Thanks in Advance

| Do your pots have drainage? Are they indoors or outdoors? How much light are they getting? If indoors, are they getting fresh air all day long? How often are you watering them? Where does the runoff water go when you water them? Are the drainage holes blocked by whatever the planters are sitting on? |

| I totally agree with the member above. I water like a fool and have the water bills to prove it but all my plants,bushes,trees,roses,etc. are HAPPY! |

| Make sure you have good drainage, and water like crazy! Water in the morning, then again after the sun cools off say around 4pm and once more before you turn in for the night. Drainage is a must though, you don't want to get rot only stop the wilting in the summer heat. I follow this routine and my plants, trees and shrubs are very healthy and happy. Hope this helps. |
