We couldn't hardly keep enough water on any of those in there, they were sitting in no holes flats and needed water 2x a day sometimes when it was hot and sunny. Now that the weather is cooling, it seems to be doing better colorwise. Maybe when they're grown real hot and real dry conditions they need more fertilizer?
Yes we have vary hot and dry condtions here at the high point of summer i was watering 2 times a day for the Enset but i had backed off the firt in the heat
