Dear All,
I wonder if you may be able to offer some thoughts on my basjoo:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/dA9Bwwf6x7YbxKw79
I'm in the UK.
Its in a pot with about 70% perlite.
I've recycled coffee pods by glueing them to the bottom of the pot so that it is raised off the ground, but none of the draining holes are obstructed.
For the past 2 months its has produced a new leaf per week.
The last leaf was smaller than the rest and took 2 weeks.
The current leaf has not moved in 4 days which is so unlike it.
Its been freakishly hot in the UK and we had a week of 30degrees plus last week. Now low 20s with a pleasant breeze.
I have fed once a week.
I've also resisted over watering, only giving (rain)water when the top 2 inches are dry.
If anyone could offer any advice I would be most grateful, even if it is to pull myself together and accept that plants are funny things.
best wishes
Peego.
