Whoa don't know why they are sideways

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

Have you got any Pests? What type of soil? PH? What and how often are you feeding?

 

[madmax1]

No pests I used miracle grow it was what I was able to get my hands on I know it's not a great soil as far as ph I will know later today I am going to go buy a ph reader also I was using tap water I'm now going to switch to distilled water and test ph. Do you think I should do a flush?

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

I would say it's a soil issue then. My is known for being a bit hot for young flowers. Flushing doesn't normally help as the nutrients I'm the soil are slow release. Get them into some good soil, invest in a good ph meter and you should be fine

 

[madmax1]

What type of soil do you recommend? The only place near me to buy soil is Home Depot

 

[Amadeus Forzin]

I'm in the UK and I don't know what soil brands you have over there, get a normal potting compost that doesn't have any added food. Add 25% perlite to the mix for added drainage

Ok thank you

Yeah, it looks like a nutrient/pH issue to me as well. The time-release nutes in MG can wreak havoc on these little plants. If you're shopping at Home Depot, look for ProMix or another potting soil with no nutrients. ProMix is mostly peat moss and perlite, but you'll probably want to add some more perlite for better drainage.

If you transplant, wait until the pots dry out a bit and just carefully pick away any extra MG soil that doesn't have roots in it (likely at the top). Then put it in it's larger, new home! They should bounce back after a week or two.
