my potted musas look all wilty.
I repotted my musas from a small pot to bigger ones about 6 weeks ago, and they are wilty looking. They are putting out new leaves well, and those ones look great until it puts out a couple more, then they start to droop. I think I had over watered in the beginning, but I have not watered them for some time. I have a moisture meter and it reads dry around the outer edges and top but moist in center and farther down still! The containers are more tall and narrow than wide. I actually pulled them right up and the roots are showing around the sides. The pots are also black. Could that be too hot for the roots in full sun? I do notice they are perkier in the early morning when it is cooler and in the shade. Its been a great June here, around 25-32C most every day and no rain. Very unusual for us!
Just waiting to get the stone patio down before I plant them in the ground. Not too sure yet where they will be going. Hope they will survive that long!
