That's your problem. That stuff is an amendment. You add it to other soil for moisture retention. Peat hold water for a long time. I got a plant outside in 90 degree heat and only water once a week.
You are drowning them.

Also if you let peat dry completely out it is a pain in the ass to wet it again.

No. I looked at what you have, they make like four different ones for different soil types. You might be able to grow in it. I would definitely cut back on the water.

No wonder they are so small! The bigger plant looks really good other than those spots. I won't water her for a couple days and see what she tells me. Thanks so much for the discovery! I should have read the bag but next time I'm for sure ordering some fox farm. Any particular kind?

I don't know. I buy generic stuff and build my own soil.

Can't afford the shipping costs or I'd have it on the way!

Sometimes Walmart.com has it. In store delivery for free.
