- To give you a some background, I started this particular plant indoors then moved it out doors once i was big enough. Before I moved it outside I had LST and topped the plant. When I made the move outside I chose some woods. I found what I thought was a good spot, (doesn't have the optimal lighting, but it was the best due to the woods having a high canopy and not much light coming down). I dug a hole and filled it with organic soil and perlite. I used two bags, and it didn't quite make it to the top, or the same level as the forest ground(You'll see in pics).------Any ways there as been a lot of rain where I am at. I went to check the plant and found that the lower growth on the plant was beginning to curl. Of course it was getting a lot of water, with it dipping down. SO tomorrow I am putting more dirt in to raise it up. I am afraid that the plant is getting flooded and root rot is going to happen. so in the mean time I punctured small wholes in the wet dirt in an attempt to irrigate it. Help me out here! What would you do here. I know I messed up , help me to continue to learn about growing. Give me some advice. Some lighting advice would be great too!
PS: Since then I have put in more dirt and raised up the plant. Doesn't seem to have any new roots since when I originally transplanted?
Take a look. What do you think about it. What would you change. Growth is stunted I think. PLEASE COMMENT!!!!
