Rosella

We have a few rosella bushes and all were fine until the other day one started to wilt. Not sure if overwatered or underwatered, the pot feels damp and the saucer had water in it. Perhaps pot bound??

Hi Noreen

Pot bound plants can easily wilt because most of the water just run off the pots. The roots have taken over most of the inside the pots already hence the soil become so porous because of the excess root system that the potting mix lost its ability to hold moisture.

You didn't mention how many months or years since you repotted them into a bigger container. If more than a year its a good time to upgrade their home.

Also it could be waterlogging because you mentioned that there is a saucer underneath the pots which hold excess water.

Check one of the plants. Remove it from the pot and examine if it is pot bound or waterlogged. If it is pot bound upgrade the pot. If waterlogged, remove the saucer to drain out excess fluid and prevent future moisture build up.

Happy Gardening :-)
