Thanks for the update and encouragement. Pleased to see you and the plant are recovering well.
Despite threatening to 'go nuclear' earlier in this thread I have not done anything drastic . I have treated some plants (with signs of leave movement) to a watering with peroxide to try to stem any rot that may be starting at the root level . Nervous times now while I wait for them plants to dry out . So I am now in a cycle of nervous early morning and evening plant inspections pushing on leaves to try to detect early signs of rot
We have just had the warmest sept on record and oct has started in a similar vein . Unfortunately higher temps are not translating to more dry sunshine , but endless wet and windy weather . Summer was a total washout and the rain just keeps falling .I think it's a combination of high humidity, low light and bigger pots that has pushed my luck too much
I will update the thread if anything else comes to light
Steve
