Question

Distilleria   Allexpert,

I got the plant a while back, some time last year.  When I was repotting the plant last year, I think I perhaps cut some of its roots by accident during the repotting procedure.  I have attached a photo of the plant.  In a year the plant has not yet produce bigger leaves.  What do I need to do to get the plant back to normal?  Let me know if you need anything else.

General grow info:

Water= distilled
Humidity =40-90%
located in a grow tank.  

Temperature=80 degrees.


Sincerely,

Weylin Callery

Answer
Hi Weylin,

Since you've had some root disturbance, you want to help those recover.  When you water, give it some Superthrive.  Follow the dosage for regular watering.  A very weak fertilizer; 1/8 tsp. per gallon, will help too.  Also, this plant is very much a lowlander, keep it warm and humid like you're doing.  It comes from Sri Lanka which is know to be very hot in lower elevations.

Good Growing!
