Hi,

i went on vacation for 2 days and came back to a disaster.

I have pictures.

The one plant all the leaves dead but the stem is healthy...

other plants the leaves are yellowing in the middle.

I gave them diluted nutrients before I left.

pH 6.5
regular potting soil with no nutrients.

the biggest ones were planted end of june, medium sized ones in middle of july.

The 2nd pic is that of a 90% dead plant. The others are less severe.

yea looks like u mighta had a lil case of root rot... u cant put it anywhere outside for a few days? if u can, bring em out, n pull the bottom part off, let it dry up, superthrive if necessary.. i've seen wilted plants come back before, but that one looks practically dead..
