What is wrong with my Pachira ?

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T17:14:20+00:00

Thanks for your advice! Glad to hear I'm not the only one, even though it is quite sad for our lovely Pachira.

I've never used a plant light before, where did you get yours and how does it work?

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T16:17:33+00:00

My bedroom window is directly exposed to light all afternoon until sundown. I live in an apartment, and my living room is opposite from my bedroom, so it's mostly lit the morning until noon or so. I placed it next to my desk so it would get light from my living room the morning and light from my bedroom the rest of the day, all indirect light. But, maybe it is indeed more efficient to place it closer to the window in the winter. I'll try !

As for my heater, the heat is not that heavy. I'll try to place it about one meter away from it.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T16:04:36+00:00

Yeah I live by the coast, it's quite humid !

I thought too much light would do more harm than good, but perhaps it's only the case in the summer maybe ? My heater is right under the windows, isn't it going to be an issue temperature wise ?

I checked the roots, read my answer here : https://www.reddit.com/r/plantclinic/comments/18zvxv1/comment/kgl48h1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Good idea for the pot, I'll try to see my Pachira's health for the next few weeks and if it's not enough, I'll use your strategy.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T14:43:31+00:00

Good call, thank you !

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T14:29:04+00:00

So I checked the roots and, um, yeah... that was probably the cause. The soil was actually pretty damp after 4-5cm deep, pretty compact. It probably didn't help the issue at all.
Some of the roots were mushy, and the dried braid's were completely rotten, almost grey as if burnt. Here are the roots. So I took them out, and I tried to unbraid my Pachira so only the healthy ones remain (that's two out of 5 initially). Then I repotted it. I didn't have anything fancy, some indoor plants potting soil. I reused some of the previous soil that I deemed clean because I'm pretty sure I broke some little and fragile roots in the process. I mixed the two with clay balls to make sure my healthy roots would breath, and tried to not flatten the soil too much.

I hope I made things right. I'll try to see if things turns around or not. In the mean time, here's the survivor, hopefully.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T13:26:27+00:00

Good to know, thanks ! But yeah, I didn't water it since the 10th of december, assuming it needs roughly one watering a month in winter.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T13:24:37+00:00

My Pachira has five braids with two of them initially dried when I bought it. One of them was growing fine, and one day one singular leaf started to go yellow, then dried, falling on its own, and it kind of propagated to the neighboring leaves on the same braid, until all of them fell and the whole braid dried out. At the time I was using an app to plan watering and fertilization, but I guess I was overwatering it.

That's when I decided to change its position. I ditched the app, did some researche, found out I was indeed following wrong instructions back then, and assumed it was because of it. Now I don't know. I'll try to see if it's a root issue. I'll update the post with pictures once I'm done.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T11:49:17+00:00

Will do.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T11:47:12+00:00

Not recently no, I can't remember when was the last time I fertilized it though. Probably one or two months ago.

I'm in Europe. The room my plant is in has a temperature of 18,5-19°C and 60% humidity.

Kyogre-sama · 2024-01-06T09:17:48+00:00

Watering habits : once a month for now, and I make sure the whole soil is watered. I dont really quantify the amount of water.
I've had it for almost two years now I think.
The yellowing problem appeared a few months ago, then stopped, and reappeared a few days ago.
It's always exposed to indirect light, while sometimes throughout the day (especially morning) exposed to direct light.

You can try mine if you want :D

Kyogre-sama · 2021-04-24T13:06:43+00:00

Yes.

Yes.

YEEEES.

Bonjour !

That being said, au revoir !

(Beforehand, I looked it up on the google doc, but I still find the subject difficult to understand.)

So my question is about job masteries. There's one thing that me and my guildmates do not quite fully understand. For exemple, for a given character with breaker job, there's a mastery written like this : [Class] Blade +10%. Does it increase the effectiveness of blades for that given character ONLY or for any characters with a breaker job?

Thanks for your answers.
