that being said here's a bit more background. These came in small seed pots and were busting out. I replanted loosening up the root ball and planting in 1 gallon pots that have the water spout at the bottom for watering from the bottom up. I haven't used them that way but it is a good judge when the water comes out that spout there is an excess of water and it can be poured off. The last ones I got from the same source took almost a month to start growing but really took off you can see that one in the background it is closer to 3 ft but it too is turning brown. That one is in a 20" pot and quit growing also when I brought it in. I thought that these would eventually take off and then I could water more frequently after growth started to help prevent rot. As you can see most of them have lost leaves and are turning brown. So where do I go from here? Soak the pots in water and see what happens? I can increase the humidity but as the temp drops even more it is harder to keep it up. Right now it is getting in the low 30's at night outside and anything over 60% is gonna cause water droplets to start building up inside on the windows. I have the shed thermometer set at 74degrees and it goes up a bit more during the day with the sunlight and lights another 3 or 4 degrees. Again 2 yrs ago I got 2 6" plants and grew them exremely well in here during the winter once they got over the transplant shock ( and they were shipped to me in the cold of winter).
