Hey guys, I'm a little worried about my vft looking droopy... I got it the day (or rather night) before yesterday and it's a tiny baby (7cm/2'5 inch). Yesterday morning it was looking great, and I let it sit on a south facing windowsill for 5.5h to acclimate it to the sun and later moved it to a north facing one. I also put it in less than 1cm/0.5in distilled water (? vapour collected from boiling tap water). At the end of the day I noticed that the leaves were not as upright as they were in the morning, and today it's even worse, plus a tiny leaf hidden under there is turning black. (Btw I let it out on the south facing patio for 5.5h today and used a tiny bit of store bought distilled water.)
I think there might be a few reasons why it's wilting:
- general stress from relocation
-me moving it around way too often
-soil too wet (perhaps I let it sit in water for too long, especially since it's a tiny pot)
-sun exposure not gradual enough (bought from a metro station flower shop)
-?
The first pic is from yesterday morning and the second from this afternoon.
It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could give me advice on what to do next!
