sallyg said:I got a clue as to why my hanging basket Plectranthus verticillatus was sick. I pulled it out of the pot (this has been given to the library 2 years ago and looked super at that time) and found the bottom nearly half of the 'soil' was pure perlite. As in, almost half the pot was filled with perlite, then potting soil and plants on top.
Now, I'm unsure why it looked great two years ago , and finally declined now, but if I knew there was this odd situation, I might have been more careful.
