She is not nearly as bad as she was last night though,the leaves were curled all the way totally down to the soil,but to me,she still looks awful.

Why is the soil so dry? The leaves get like that because lack of water.
I watered her yesterday,and it's just the top layer that's dry because the sun came out and it was warm.
It's totally moist about an inch down,hence all the fungus gnats around.

No perlite? It needs a good soak regardless.

Naw,this was the only potting soil I had at the time.
I'll add it on the next repot,which will be potting numero quatro since you sent her!

I got worms in my cacao pot and then i got worms in all of them. Put a spoonful of soil from my cacao plant into all my kratoms. Those worms eat the crap out of coffee grounds. And then crap. Which is great.

Thinking about grabbing a t8 or if I can afford it a t5 for my remaining gal and the new rifat on the way. Just going to clear out a closet in the guest room most likely. Do I need any sort of ventilation for this? Or just set up the light and go?

Okay just got a t5 lamp opened it up and see I have to wire this directly into the house...? I don't even know where to start with this sort of thing. I thought I'd just be able to plug it in a socket

Thanks!! Going to see if i can find that one in store. Also my friend recommended an LED setup...? Is this feasible for kratom and are they generally plug in as well? I have some cacti as well not sure if one would be better than the other

My baby Rifat is still suffering
On another note... Hey KBG did you accidentally hit the ignore button?
I just realized it said I was ignored by you.
This wasnt like this a day or 2 ago.
If you dont want me to PM you just let me know and I wont anymore but please unblock it, It doesnt look good on the profile.
I dont know what happen but how am I going to get you your name change now?

Name change? He doesnt want to change his name.
Anywho, just let that plant die man. Maybe its infected and sickly and dont introduve them to your other plants. It could be infectious.

Ya Ive pretty much given up on it.
Thats why I said Im in need of a new Rifat.
KBG told me he wanted a name change, then he told me never mind, but he looked out for me so I was going to change it for him as soon as I got a few extra bucks anyways.
