When the soil feels dry.
This is a baby crape myrtle. It is currently under grow lights until the sun comes to the patio then it is outside in the sun. One day I noticed the leaves are drooping a little bit and the sides are rolling inword down. I can't figure out if I'm overwatering or under watering. Somebody please help me understand what I'm doing wrong and why it looks this way.
Oh thank you so much.
Right now it is growing indoors under grow lights for 10 hours a day sometimes 12. I am in southern California so the low temperature at night is about 60°F and the high temperature during the day is about 85°F the house is about 75°F sometimes closer to 80°F. The crêpe myrtles all around the neighborhood are definitely starting to go dormant, but with the tree still do so under artificial conditions? In the winter the temperature will not drop below about 40°F. Can such a young sapling handle these temperatures? They normally would not sprout until the spring so I had not considered putting it outside.
Edit to add... I live in an apartment with a west facing patio. It would only get sunlight for six hours a day if I left it outside because the first half of the day blocked by the building. That's why it's been growing inside. If six hours is enough at this age I can move it outside
It's only a couple months old. It's being grown under grow lights because it is now fall and it would not grow well outside. It was doing absolutely fantastic and then one day it started rolling its leaves downward. I am really afraid to overwater because I don't want to cause root rot, but I don't know if it's overwatered or underwater because everything I look at on the Internet is telling me the signs for both are similar.
I am pretty new to growing plants of any kind, but I really wanted to grow a beautiful tree with my kids and plant it in our yard when we get a house in the future. I would feel awful for so many reasons if I kill this little tree. Can somebody please help me understand how to help it and what to look for the future with watering needs?
Somebody please help me save this plant. This is a crêpe myrtle. It is a couple months old. It was doing really well and then one day it looked very sad. I dug it up and the roots look really good. I was worried because I had a lemon tree die of root rot. The tree is under grow lights if that gives any more information.
I have so many questions … So does this go between only specific toes, or between each of them like a snake? How often do you change your napkins? What makes your toes rub together in the first place? Or is the discomfort them touching at all? In which case wouldn’t socks have the same issue?
Her main triggers are interactions with her brother, doing chores, or discipline. These things are unfortunately not avoidable. I do try to help mentally prep her for chores and I’m calm with discipline.
That’s a really cool idea. She’s a bit young especially mentally but we will try that in the future.
There is for sure more understanding of autism now than there was when you were a kid, and unfortunately some parents just don’t understand or learn about autism.
I remind her that it will get easier as she gets older. Being a kid can be very difficult. I’ll get her a stress stuffed cat to hug if she get upset,
I’m not autistic, but two of my kids are. I explain to them that nobody is normal, and we all have our own little world in our mind. It’s ok to be different, and make sure to surround oneself with good people. Sometimes people (esecsilly children) can he assholes, but that’s what’s wrong with them not you.
I’m the only severely visually person in my life, and nobody will understand how different the world is for me. That’s ok though because what they do understand is when I need help, and if they don’t it’s ok to speak up and ask for it.
True, but it’s about keeping a balance. Most of safari is fine and I can zoom in if need be. When text gets too big it messes with layouts. I have my iPad text size to maximum, but that can really mess with stuff.
I tried to get memmy, but it says the test is full. Hopefully it’s released soon. Wefwef just feels better than the other apps as it resembles Apollo.
Is that available on iOS?
The picture was right after watering this morning so that may not be an indicator, but definitely good advice about the chopsticks I will do that, thank you
