pqueen This second week, I had many questions about plant growth. I started watering enough every day to keep the soil moist, without soaking. I kept the plants in direct sun for about 9 hours a day (where I live is a tropical country close to the equator, strong sun all day long). This week the plants went from 2 to 4 leaves each. Very cute. The parameters that I entered in the diary are all estimated, as everything has been very empirical.

pqueen This week I had to travel for three days (from July 30th to August 1st) and the plants were not watered. However, I gave it a generous wet before leaving and left it out for the entire period. When I arrived on August 2nd, there were many new leaves, the plants grew significantly. Some leaves dried at the ends, I believe due to the lack of water. However the others seem fine.

pqueen This week I was a little worried because some leaves, especially the older ones, started to dry and others turned faintly yellow. A friend told me it could be lack of nutrients, which makes sense since I used substrate from my own backyard. Despite that they grow a lot, every day new leaves are born and now a few things near the stem, which should be good. They are having about 8-9 hours of very very strong sun. He advised me to switch to a composition mixed with earthworm humus and bone meal, which I did today. I hope they are okay. Does anyone have any tips? Cheers
