Frithia pulchra needs help
Can anyone help me with this frithia? It has cracks on it's leaves and is floppy. It gets about 5 hours of morning direct sun, and gets water every 2 to 3 weeks.

Ok. Will give it even more sun. I don't dare to water it now. Might worsen the crack and kill it. Is that ok?greenknight wrote:It needs more sun.

Normally they need regular watering during the growing season (but dry in the winter). but probably a good idea to hold off on watering for a bit. Introduce it to stronger light gradually, as pale as it is it could sunburn.

It looks like it had too much water in the past, but might be a bit thirsty now. Possibly you overwatered in winter when the light wasn't good enough.

What a difference a week makes. Now this fellow get full morning sun. After a watering, I think it will pull through. Btw, it is perpetual summer where I live.

Every 2-3 weeks probably isn't often enough for this one in "perpetual summer". Depends on how big the pot is and how much water it can hold though.
