Droopy

[Chazz2020]

What could be making her so droopy

 

[Chazz2020]

Is she from out of her pot or what

 

[Chazz2020]

Grown out of her pot lol sry typo

Yeah get more soil in that pot maybe an inch below the top. Water the plant. Let it dry for a day. The previous days watering will help hold everything together when you remove it from the pot. Carefully turn the pot over and support the plant between your fingers. pull the plant out Add more soil to the bottom of the pot and then place the plant on top and tap it all in firmly. While the plant is out of the pot examine the roots. Check for it being root bound. I doubt it is but pictures are tough to judge sometimes. Check back in a week and see if you see any difference.

Not nearly big enough to be root bound.

Looks like overwatering to me.

What about putting her in a 3 gallon fabric pot

That would probably be good IF you think you can remove it from that pot without damaging the rootball..... Plant doesnt look big enough to transplant for the amount of dirt its in but i could be wrong.

I got her transplanted and she was getting rootbound no damage done at all I transplanted into promix and earthworm castings and some fox farm fertilizer just used a quarter of a cup and mixed it in the soil

I think a lot of people confuse a healthy root ball with being root bound.

This is a healthy root ball and about the ideal time to transplant, but if you waited a week, it still wouldnt be anywhere near "root bound"



Root bound



All that being said, its fine if a plant is "rootbond" in its final pot as long as its getting properly fed/watered.

 

[Chazz2020]

Ok cool but her roots didn't look the the picture above

 

[Chazz2020]

The first picture I mean

 

[JoeBlow5823]

Im not sure what you mean. The first picture is the absolute soonest i would transplant....any sooner and you risk the whole root ball falling apart as soon as you get it in your hand.

[Chazz2020]

I wouldnt say she was getting rootbound, i would just say it was time to up pot.

 

[Chazz2020]

Yes lol thanks for the advice

 

[Chazz2020]

Is it time to top her and how to properly do it

Just me but I would try and get them back healthy before topping. Just so you don’t put any extra stress on them. But when you do, top just above the 5th node.

 

[Chazz2020]

Ok I know this is a silly question but how do I count the nodes I’ve researched it but not clear still

every spot on the main stem that has two leaves/branches coming off it is a node (everywhere there is a leaf, there will be a branch if there isnt one already)
