IC looks sad - Page 2

I might add that the temperature here in my area is always cool from high 50's to 80's in the summer and lots of humidity but I still cover my plants when I transplanted them to be sure. Because I see leaves wilting when they exposed to direct sunlight and I feel sorry for the plant. But when I just put anything on top of the plant to protect them from direct sunlight be it a plywoodor plastic, the leaves stay rigid and fresh.
Try it.

[quote=Eric;92166] Remember, manure acts like fertilizer and, combined with hot sun, could be damaging to a new transplant. I never add manure in such a situation except gradually, later.

.......so,did you cover it in shade and prevent it from receiving one of the most important things a nana needs?

LMAO told you I had bad luck in the ground. I need to do some reading. Started getting some rain. I saw it laying over and all brown. When I tried to bring it up it broke apart all mush. Looks like it rotted. The ones in the containers (although very big containers) have been growing like weeds.
