My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Root rot on AV?

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

I'm a newbie when it comes to indoor plants, but received 6 AVs from a friend last winter when I was in a really bad place mentally. They brightened things up a lot, and I've been trying to keep them alive because of what they mean to me. I put them in 4" pots with AV potting soil, they are in a southwest window, and I water them every week or 2 (when they dry out, but not completely) by letting them sit in about 3" of warm water with AV food.They were doing awesome for awhile, but then I had to leave for a little over 2 weeks for a work assignment. My kind and well-meaning friend who was looking after the cat dumped a bunch of water on them, and when I came home, they had wet feet and now some have leaves that are turning yellow-brown. Is there anything I can do?
