hi guys. i flushed my plant the other day for general maintainace and it hasnt recoverd the shock from this. i have provided pictures below to show what im talking about. the main stem is drooping and has been like this for 2 days. i dont know what to do, change the soil or kill the plant. i think the roots have rotten. please help!

one thing i just noticed, the drainage of the pot isnt sufficient as it was still dripping water, is it too late to save the plant if i cut bigger holes and drain the water now?

Click to expand...

Can that be cured? or will the plant die if the roots rot? i mean can it heal ? if i stop watering it so often?

Its very possible that they make a full recovery. I's impossible to tell you for sure though.
Let them dry almost all the way out after each watering.

Transplant to new soil in a 3 gallon pot, water after the soil gets really really dry. make sure you have 30-50% perlite mixed in with the soil.

Hey man they usually wilt when they are too dry or too wet. You already know it's too wet so just do nothing and let it dry out, it may take a day or two. Cheers

Yeah, transplant it out of that pot to a 3 gallon pot. Make sure you mist the new soil, let it sit there for a day or 2 before you start watering again.

Goodluck.

Basically my concept of flushin is wrong, what i understood from some ppl on this website is to flush my soill with 3x the size of my pot with water, and thats what i did. since then, my plant looks like its dead.

The draining is more important than the watering. Plants do better dry than wet.

ya... underwatering tends to be more tolerable than overwatering... its a bitch to figure out without a moisture meter. i germinated mine in peat pellets so its hard as hell to water because the cubes stay wet for so much longer... im waiting for my roots to exit the cubes
