Heres my sprout. Her two smaller leaves, if you look closely, are brown, shriveled, and dead. She still has two large leaves, and a set of two baby leaves are just starting to show themselves. She appears too pale for my liking as well. Anyone know whats wrong?

also, another sprout i have in a pot, was doing well and then i went out the next day and she was bent in half, fallen over. It looked like someone had pinched her int he middle or something, and this is the second tme thats happened to one of my sprouts. is it a deficiency or what?

im having the same problem with my plant actually this is my first time so i hope you get an answer to your question cuz itll help me too , im assuming the problem with yours is that the two bottom roundish shaped leaves dried up and died? at first mine looked like it got nibbled on by pests so maybe thats your problem too? so as orgain as i would like to grow mine i thinkim gunna have to lay down some bug kiler also ive heard that put green leaves around your plant wil keep bugs off your plants since the bugs will eat the leaves before they get to your plant but idk if that works thats what im trying right now since im going organic as possible but if that dosent work put some bug repellent/killer down

dont worry about the 2 pedal leaves that you get when you first sprout they will naturally brown and die they are there just to start the plant once the other sets of leaves grow enough to support the plant the pedal leaves will shrivel up
