My plant died?
tonydosreisstarted grow question 5 months ago
Yesterday my plant wake up that’s way.
I don’t changed anything in my grow (water frequency, humidity, light exposure…)
Last time this happened, I just put water and she recovery, but this doesn’t work anymore. Some leafs woke up like this.
What you guys suggest me?

Listening to 001101010101 didn't work last time and I suggest to not listen this time.
Do not water this plant anymore, you are drowning her.
If a plant is wilting like this and water isn't solving it, it's almost definitely overwatering that is causing the problem.
Make some drainage holes and let her roots breathe and let the soil dry out a bit.
The roots are probably starting to rot.

It sounds like you have bad watering habits based on your description and how your last plant was to the point of wilting.
Water entire pot. You don't pick the volume. If it is soil, a little runoff is fine to ensure it's saturated. Wait for top layer to dry and repeat. If you irrigate at the same 'dryness/weight', then it will be a consistent volume you can predict. Frequency only increases unless you up-pot. So, expect to water more frequently over time while in the same pot. You cannot hurt a plant with this procedure.
if watering doesn't perk it up, then the plant is dead and you move on.

If pot is heavy and filled with water = root rot
If pot is light and dry = give water

I think your soil is not airy enough and you have over watered her.
Are there drainage holes in the bottom of the bucket?
If not, you are watering more than she needs and it's roots are probably sitting in an anerobic puddle in the bottom.
Also, low humidity helps transpiration speed up, but in extreme low humidity the stomata can close to save the plant from losing water out of the leaves faster than it can pull up from the roots.
So your plant doesn't actually drink as much in the dry as you think, sorry you got bad advice on the previous question. You should not have kept watering.
