Stuartiana 'sogo' help.
Hi I bought this Stuartiana a little over a year ago from a local greenhouse, and it was in great shape over 80 flowers and buds.
As soon as I got i home it deflated. The leaves wrinkled, many of the buds didn't open... you get the idea. I eventually cut the stem off so the plant could recover.
After I cut the stem off, it perked up a little but it continued to have some wrinkled leaves and some leaves were still droopy.
2 new leaves grew, but it has never been a healthy plant since.
This past February, It flowered. It gave me about 20 flowers. But the new leaves got wrinkled and drooped again.
Just today I cut the stem off. It is looking very sad. it has TONS of roots, no bugs, plenty of light (east window and t5 lights), humidity is low at about 30-40%. It is in bark, I repoted it last year. It dries out slightly between waterings...
I just don't know what else to do. I contacted the greenhouse owner and all he can tell me is that this is a species plant and they can be really finicky.
I should note that I took it outside for the purposes of taking the pictures.
Any suggestions?
