ok so heres one of my trees, i cant figure out why the leaves are curling though... i asked before and i got mixed between under/over watering. i water them about every two days and only a small amount.. anything i should be concerned with?

how old are the plants? are you feeding them anything yet? have you thought about transplanting soon? what kind of soil are you using?

No i havenet fed them anything yet, I asked about feeding them on here before and was told i should wait a few weeks. They're only 2 weeks old. they're in mg african violet mix has a pre balanced ph that matches that of this plant, and i just moved them into the big cups about 2 days ago and they have grown since.

my plants did some weird things with the leaves too at about that age, or a little older, and i had them in mg... i repotted them at 3 wks old, and kind of wish i did it sooner, now that i see how fast they grew in the bigger pots. when i looked at them, it was hard to figure if i was over or under watering, but it was definitely overwatering (too frequent watering plus sitting water in the bottom of the pots), which is essentially over nuting your plant and suffocating the roots.

i gently cupped the rootballs and shook off as much mg as i could when i repotted and then used b'cuzz cocosubstrate and mixed in ew castings... if you look at them, you'll see they're doing just fine. i've watered twice since repotting, both times with 2 tsp of ff grow big per gallon (on the heavy handed side) in watering. they're doing great- click on the link in my sig if you want to see how they look since repotting...
