well my plant has been growing outside perfectly fine for a couple months. It's gotten nice and big, and it was very green and healthy (I hope) lol.
At first I had problems with grasshoppers but some insecticide took care of that.
Then maybe last tuesday or monday the plant started looking depressed, leaves drooping, slight clawish just falling over of the leaves. This mainly happened after it had just rained, so I figured, well it probably got too much water somehow. I thought it would be just fine after a some time of not watering.
Well I kept waiting for improvement, but this morning, it looks worse than ever before! The leaves aren't even holding themselves up anymore almost at all.
|\\\ if the straight line was the stalk, the slashed lines pointing DOWN are the leaves.
I'm sure pictures would help, but it isn't possible at this exact moment. Then I realized that it has just been much too cold for any excess water to evaporate, so how do I keep the plant from dying? I could evaporate the water if I stuck the pot in the oven, but I have a feeling the plant wouldn't survive that. lol
Anyways, what do I do? Should I just transplant it to a pot without any water?
immediately?
despite the shock it would experience? or would that be worse at this point?
Please give me some suggestions quickly. It may already be too late.
