Default Re: in ground vs container

ive been battling with it still. I have a apple banana pup that I planted in a container. I thought I had well draining soil for it. 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite, 1/3 sandy soil. I watered it once every other day or so when the top soil was dry or about an inch down. The pup started to become mushy and brown at the base so I assumed it was over watering. I since have bought a moisture meter and now I wont add water until it is completely dry. It seems my soil retains a ton of moisture at about 2 inches below the surface for some reason.
