Hi guys,

Advice needed. I repotted my Ficus (Fiddle Leaf) two weeks ago into Gritty Mix. I follow the instructions and the plant is sulking...as to be expected.

Here is my concern...the previous pot was from the nursery and root bound. When watering, it would run right through it. My bamboo stick would be bone dry in about a week.

Now, in this gritty mix, I checked the stick and it is now growing mold on it and is definitely still wet (Have not watered at all since the repot 2 weeks ago). I just put a couple wicks into the bottom.

What am I doing wrong that there is mold growing on the stick and after 2 weeks, the mix is STILL wet?

Thanks all...
