I recently planted a stevia seedling and it soon started turning brown and wilted. The leaves aren’t crunchy—they’re moist but limp. I’m not sure how to fix this? The soil is basically dry and it gets watered every 10 days. I’m afraid to add more water, but the soil is brand new so I don’t think it would be a nutrient issue?

It looks overwatered. The pot has too much soil that is not drying out fast enough. The plant is too small to use up all the water and it’s not evaporating fast enough. I recommend putting it in a small pot 4” wide or less. It should be big enough to hold the roots.

The soil looks a bit muddy. Try using a soil with more aggregates like perlite or adding it to the current soil mix. Adding small orchid bark chips will also increase the drainage and allow the soil to dry faster. 🪴🍀
