Some of the new growth stalks on my Schefflera come in and wither and wilt. they get very soft, squishy and droopy. Some have turned brown and died. In a grow tent. 9 hrs of light. watered once every two weeks, roughly. when ever soil is dry. Humidity is roughly 50-70
i think you may need to water it a lot more if you’re only doing it once every two weeks and they’re under grow lamps
you can abuse them quite a bit in terms of over and under watering but my guess based on that statement alone is that it’s not getting enough water. I probably get mine around twice a week or thereabouts when it’s indoors.
i don’t think these ever really need to be or should be fully dry in an ideal scenario
It started happening when I was watering it once a week, so I took it back to see if it was from over watering, but I'll try watering it more. The soil stays moist in the tent, So I didn't want to over water it.
The top layer is coarse pepples, but I'm pretty sure the under layer is mostly coarse soilat best it seems. Bought it from a nursery a while ago and just have been letting it grow.
