Hi all! I posted in here recently. Plant was droopy and the problem seemed to have been overwatering and lack of nutrients. I’ve made slight adjustments and saw improvements, but now I’m seeing problems in other ways. The lower branches have just been dying off, and whatever the problems seems to be is making its way up. At first it was just the lowest branch, but now the problem is on 2 others. Any help again is so appreciated! I was so thankful for the help last time!

Hi!

Completely new grower here, given a plant to try to take care of. This plant has been through the wringer.😭 It had a pest issue, and that was solved through spraying with neem + soap solution. Now I believe it had/has an overwatering issue (as suggested by someone who grows). Since being told this, I tried to let the soil dry out, but horrible coincidence, it rained everyday for about 4 days, which prolonged that overwatering problem. The weather has finally subsided, it was able to dry out (and be dry for a day or two) and then I watered it along with giving it a little nutrient (nitrogen dominant fertilizer). Now I’m allowing it to somewhat “dry out” in between waterings. Is this okay? Should I also be doing anything else? Will the plant survive/when can I start to see it going slightly better? Plant isn’t root bound at all, roots don’t seem to have started any rotting from being so wet.
