Need help any idea what the cause of this could be. I just replanted all my acacia in lechuza pon yesterday in a lechuza self watering pots I removed all the soil prior to putting them in the pon and watering it normally till water roots develop I watered it this morning and when I come home, my melo acacia is drooping. If anyone can give me ideas on what it is, whether it be stress for moving it or over or under watered I don’t use the self watering feature in the pot yet till water roots develop so when I watered it this morning water was able to go through the drainage hole plug. The stems feel soft and the leaves are curling so far my other two allocations are not drooping yet.

    It's likely having transplant shock. A fee of my alo's did moving them to pon. A few lost some leaves. But I misted daily and they eventually perked up.

      Yeah, the same thing happened to me! Both of mine snapped out of it and started shooting new leaves like a month later.

    It is called the levolt I bought the one for large space so it has a large water tank. It has an app on your phone where you could set the desired humidity to come on and come off. It’s a great humidifier. Check them out.

    Self-watering plants inhibit air flow and it's possible that the plant is unhappy because it's not getting any air to the root system. Just a guess

    Just my take but I’ve learned through the years - no matter what - if you wait it out and don’t mess with it too much or panic too much and try to keep fixing it - soon enough a new leaf will grow in and it will be bright and large! The other leaves may never come back exactly as before, but the new ones will be next gen sturdy! I try to remind myself of this ALL the time.
