Was already struggling and the week away did it in. I would repot into a nursery pot instead of being potted directly in this planter. I have several of these pots and noticed the grooves hold a lot of water.

I almost leave everything in nursery pots anymore. I only use the pretty ones as cache pots. This has helped my plants SO MUCH!
