Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I water when they are dry and they have a grow light for 12 hours. Please help and thanks ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/hi8Opg_kMjnbgPQssR93TpPbs7-T3H5T13eFpuMxzCw/ILnqlbfHSTqXXM8uUKSIjg.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/hi8Opg_kMjnbgPQssR93TpPbs7-T3H5T13eFpuMxzCw/vLjaUJ5mTs2SfBRSqDqi8Q.webp?size=large) ## 9개의 댓글 ### exitJiraffe님이 2025-02-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. For these, during winter I water when the soil is almost completely dry, and use a grow light about 6-12” away. Only thing I can think of that could be variable is indoor temp? A lot of times there will be some winter die-back with these, really depends on your indoor temps. Shouldn’t fall below 55°. It could be shock from changing environments too. There’s a lot of variables. #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-07에 답변했습니다. I bring them in when it's around 65° during the day cause I keep my house 68.° maybe the grow light needs to be closer. I usually end up chopping them and propagated what is left but I would really love to keep them going all year round. Thanks for your help. #### exitJiraffe님이 2025-02-08에 답변했습니다. They are known for getting sad looking on top, so that’s usually the cycle, to cut and prop to refill the pot. I usually curl a tendril up back into the soil and pin it there, it’ll root and fill the top up over time. ### Sunny님이 2025-02-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Did you replace the soil? The current soil looks a lot darker, muddy and unhealthy. The plant looks like it’s rotting. I recommend checking for root rot and replacing the soil. Low light can give the same effect as noted in the previous comment. Place the light within a foot of the plant. 🍀🪴 #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-07에 답변했습니다. No it was just waterd. I let them dry out before I water them and this plant is only a year old so I haven't repotted it yet but I will check the roots too. Thanks ### Adam님이 2025-02-07에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mine always look crappy over the winter. I just restart all my tradscantias in the spring. I try to keep them as long as possible but they always crap out in spring, and that’s even in the sunroom. They look just ok when in my greenhouse but only for 1 winter. Eventually they all need a reset #### Stephanie님이 2025-02-07에 답변했습니다. Thanks. It just suck to start over every year #### Adam님이 2025-02-07에 답변했습니다. Agreed. I wish I could keep the gorgeous beauties all year ### StormLover님이 2025-02-14에 댓글을 남겼어요. Oh that's happening to me too! I moved it further away from window cause it's started drying up! Good to know all of above... kine seems to be getting a little better. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
