Thanks for the update! " Recovering slowly" is very good news.
I hope "moisture controlled soil" addresses "not retaining too MUCH water" as well as "preventing too LITTLE water".
>> a warning about using tap water.
>> Rain water or bottled water is recommended. The tap water can actually kill the plant.
Interesting! I didn't know that. Did it hint whether it was chlorine or minerals that were the problem with tap water? I always love to find out "why".
