Hey everybody! Unfortunately my little Tabitha has been through a rough time. I’ll admit I’ve neglected her, then accidentally overwatered her before actually going to Planta for help. I think she’s getting better but any advice would be much appreciated! As another question, her soil gets dry very quickly and is pulling away from the edges of the pot. Should I give her new soil or would that shock her too much and risk having her die forever?
Soil affects roots. Roots are the lifeline of the plant, sometimes you gotta rid shock to save the plant… By the same token — you can probably just bottom water and let it the soil dry out until she starts showing signs of life again before changing the soil. If it’s winter where you are, the only other thing I’d suggest is giving her some heat from a seedling mat a few hours a day. When I lived in northern NY 5a, seedling mats were the saving grace for all my plants through winter.
