There is ALWAYS room for one more p
I have a P. veitchii 'Lemoinei' that I ordered online. It looked great when I got it. I kept it in bright light but out of sun for about a week or a little more, then started adding sun. It was in direct sun for a couple of hours for a few days, and I noticed today that it's "softer" feeling, and a bit limp, although it's not drooping YET. It's definitely not firm like it was when I got it. It felt dry several days after I got it, and I watered it. When I just now saw it's limpness now, I watered it again. Soil felt dry. It's in a 4" pot. Do you think it got too much sun, too soon? They prefer more sun than other staghorns, or so I've read. They also like more arid conditions, which I have. I have blocked the sun on it for now, until I hear something from you guys. Thank you.
