I ask my daughter to water them more but her mamma cant be right.. thats how that went. The soil was ok... nothing special nothing horrible either except some of a filler she used some clay dirt but I had her change them all like 2 weeks ago. It dodnt seem to help. When they were repotted the roots did not seem rotten to me. Suppose i could be wrong but nothi g was over wet or mushy at all.if anything again they were too dry... not veey good drainage but that wouldnt matter is ahe underwatered riggt? See what elae did you ask me...
