Scotch Looks a little off...
Tuesday, May 2nd
The scotch bonnet plant has been looking a little sketchy from about 3 days in. A little sagging, and yellowish leaves. It's shown NO perkiness at all. All the others looked strong, especially the fataliis. Since I hadn't fertilized the plants yet, except when I hit them with the seaweed stuff during the potting process, I figured it was time to do it.
So I watered them, though they were still a little moist, with water mixed with fish emulsion. The nitrogen in it(5%), will "promote strong growth and deep green leaf color."(from chileplants.com's GROW-HOW) Sounds good to me...
Gave them an OK soaking, probably not as deep as it could have been, but they were already a little moist. I'm still trying to figure this out, but I need to start thinking "less is more" when it comes to water. I also took off a couple of the really yellow leaves from the scotch bonnet.
