Stems are dark purple and older leafs are falling. please help!

Yes, I thought that too and I gave her phosphorus and nitrogen but nothing changed ://

Do you have a fan slightly blowing on her that will Strengthen your stems to be able to hold the weight and it will help dry

No, the box is closed… I don’t have any vintilation system

You’re going to want one or need one depending how big your box is In your temperatures I go to Wally world and pick up a small cheap fan You definitely want something to make them move around it will help you in the long run

@Alnitak

First I would like to welcome you to ILMG

@Donaldj, Both over and under watering look the same. He stated that he watered his plant every 5th day. My question to @Alnitak is
; how much water do you give you plant every 5th day, Then we’ll know if it’s under or over watering

@garrigan62 I also read the when plate under plant was dry part I empty my plant trays after watering so my roots don’t get swamped in

Yea like everyone has said - pH , even if you gave her nutes , if your pH is off your roots wouldn’t be able to access them anyway
Let the soil dry out a bit and do your best to obtain a pH meter asap and something to adjust pH
Vinegar to bring it down baking soda to bring it up
Or purchase pH up pH down a product made by general hydroponics.

I’m still wounding if he is watering so much that it takes 5 days for the dish to dry out then the soil in the pot must still be saturated with water and then he waters again compounding the moisture in the pot making it over-watered.
That’s what i’m thinking what do you think ?

If soil and roots stay saturated root rot is very real possiblity but ph would certainly be very far out of wack at this stage personally I would be looking at transplanting to fresh drier more airy soil. The damage is done soil compaction bacteria from dead root matter etc… would all be swinging ph :wink:
If temps airflow plant size pot size are all factors which play in how often and how much we water then frequency itself of watering is less important than how dry is soil when we water :thinking: The devil is usually in the details in this case the catch trays dry trays are a standard thing if they aren’t dry within a day of watering than your roots aren’t getting air. Watering to run off is a way of knowing soil is sufficiently moist tray should not remain full past an hour after watering. By watering to runoff and leaving tray for a short while we ensure moisture can wick to dry spots in soil at this point lift pot note how heavy it feels and empty tray. With practice the pot lift will give you a feel for when to water as soil compacts overtime it’s feel and weight barely changes aside from plant mass you only want to water when pots start to feel light if this is 2 days or 2 weeks doesn’t matter.
@garrigan62 is quite right over and under watering look the same but over causes far more issues.
With bags fabric or plastic a simple squeeze will tell you too by how quick the soil rebounds feels under your hands but weight is most fool proof method

You have got a lot off great help @Alnitak I’m just wondering if maybe you could take some trimming from the bottom and try and send it up the top off the plant it mite make her feed more but again only if the Ph is in range for the plant to feed, is that water on the leafs in the photos or is it a foliar spray they do look very wet and the purple stems maybe magnesium I wish you all the best your in good hands with these people.
