The title is self explanatory. Planted it in 20-10-10 potting soil about 3 weeks ago. Not really growing well.
The soil is patio plus.

1 second i take my magnifier glass ..
lol
this pot is way too big for this poor tiny baby
she's showing overwatering signs because her roots lack in oxygen ..
try to do intermediates transplantations next time ..

for this one be sure to let dryout the soil very well before watering again ..

What works really well for me is mixing perlite with whatever soil you use at a ratio of about 50-50%....your roots will thank you. And, its not too late to go buy a 5 gallon smart pot, bag of FF Happy Frog soil, and a bag of #3 perlite and replant this lady!

Too much, too soon. Best to take the advice above about the 50/50 happy frog/perlite. This won't grow like this, so you got to do something. Best to start over. A new healthy sprout, in the right mix, will out pace this in no time.

Can use that then. Bag of perlite is 4 or 5 bucks. Mix 50/50 with the soil you have.

perlite help keep soil from getting so compact and for me seems to help the soil take up water a lot better
