Hi! I have a young mung bean plant (about 2 months old). I’m repotting it on Wednesday into a much larger ceramic pot, but I’ve been wondering about the strange coloration on one of the stems. The other two don’t have it. Ever since this particular plant has been young, the base of the stem has been a deep purple. I recently found out that it could possibly be a nutrient deficiency, but I’m really not sure. Does anyone know what this is?
