help!!! yellowing. root bound?

sdgrower · #1 (**permalink**) 04-19-2007, 06:58 AM

i grew 3 plants on my roof in southern california and the yellowing is creeping up from the lower leaves on one plant. I think the containers might be too small. My pH is at 6.5 and i have adequate nutrients. Help would be much appreciated.

pictures are at my other thread

your overwatering your plants the pots are small, so the soil becomes saturated each watering

dont water so much & not as often

thanks for the advice. turns out i wasnt overwatering but they were root bound. when i transplanted today the roots were very condensed at the bottom. thanks anyway.

I did mention your pots were small but, your plants were barely big enough to be TRULY root bound

your leaves are yellowing, thats a nitrogen def. caused by overwatering, also the leaves are swollen as well as is the obvious leaf curling under more indications of overwatering

rootbound alone wont cause the plant these issues
