Re: What is wrong with my plant??

When you see leaves that go droopy from the bottom, like that in the picture,
it usually means that the roots have no air or are suffering from high salinity,
forcing the plants to sacrifice some older leaves to reduce the amount of water and nutrients needed,
to prolong their lives.

So the older leaves sag and droop, showing signs that you need to treat the root problems as soon as possible or the plants will die.

The causes might be over-watering, over-feeding, not enough air in the soil and root rot.
Or some root living bugs like fungus gnats will also chew up the roots. (BTI for root gnats)

You can probably change the soil ( no fert ) and only give clean water until it recovers. Or you can try flushing.
Or if it is still vegging, you can transfer it to a hydro bubbler with clean water and very light nutrients until it comes back.

Take cuttings from healthy branches now in case the plants fail to recover.

i was watering everyday

You are probably overwatering it.

Fill one pot up with dry dirt. Now lift it. Now you will know what a dry pot feels like.

Other method is stick your finger down 2 inches into the soil. If your soil is completely dry 2 inches down then you can add some water.

Advice:

Don't love your plant to death

Good luck

well i just took the plant out of the pot...seems the pot might be too small... the whole thing the roots are crossed over eachother... the soil wasnt too wet,
i'll chuck in a bigger pot and see how i go

bigger pot sounds about right , was the bottom soaked ? because as said above the roots seemed to be lacking oxygen unless they were badly root bound

ive put in a MUCH larger pot, The bottom of the medium size pot was a Little wet, the soil in the medium pot wasnt soaking wet but also wasn't dry, Hopefully the much larger pot will fix all issues

will post back in a few days on how i go
