Are they getting enough sunlight

#### Lana ha respondido el 2024-06-06

I had them on my window sill inside and just put them outside in the sunlight this morning I just watered them for first time this morning and when I got home from work

### Adythetomatofarmer a commenté le 2024-06-06

Did you check the app for how often you need to water them?

#### Lana ha respondido el 2024-06-06

Yes it said every 3 days but they look almost dead and dry dirt I just found them

### DanishGramma a commenté le 2024-06-06

They’re probably root bound and need to be planted in the ground or some big planters.

#### Lana ha respondido el 2024-06-06

I thought so I’m trying to find some affordable ones rn

Have you thought about the fabric containers? I have one that is the size of a small kid pool that is perfect for my wild flowers. I think I found it on Walmart’s website last year. I also drilled holes in a five gallon bucket for my sweet potatoes. Lol Just have to be a little creative to save money. 😁

Since they are in very small pots, they will dry out much faster than the app will know about. The good thing is that there are a lot of them so you can water all now, then experiment with a watering schedule and sunlight by putting them different places in your home and having them on differing watering schedules.

#### Lana ha respondido el 2024-06-06

Okay good I hoped I wasn’t drowning them but the dirt did seem to dry out after a few hours and I put a bit more they are standing up a bit more now😭 so they don’t have to be outside?

### Lana a commenté le 2024-06-06

I thought I messed them up because I had them inside and my bf said maybe the ac too

### Josie a commenté le 2024-06-06

They absolutely need water, I’d recommend filling the bottom tray up and let them soak for a long time so make sure the soil isn’t hydrophobic. Once they’ve had a few hours to soak it up empt the tray then wait a day or two and repot them. I’m sure they’re ready for bigger pots judging by the plant size.

#### Lana ha respondido el 2024-06-06

Awesome thank you! I will do that! I would see the droplets not soaking in from the top right to see if it’s hydrophobic?

#### Josie ha respondido el 2024-06-06

Usually it will bypass the soil in some way if it is hydrophobic. It’s also coming for these trays to get that way because they’re tiny and dry out really fast.
