Time to send to the compost bin?
I'm curious about how other growers deal with plants that don't seem to thrive. I find it interesting how I can have 2 same genus plants of relatively the same age + in the same growing conditions and while one takes off like gangbusters, the other just sits. It may not be dying, but it doesn't do much else. I think some just don't have the same vigor, which would make sense... same as any living creature.
I'm kind of torn between giving the plant in stasis TLC and seeing what happens (I tend to be stubborn), but then on the flip side, I didn't get into this hobby to have plants that don't grow well. Ugh.
I'm interested in hearing others' thought about this. Do you toss at some point if you have a plant that just doesn't do much of anything, but otherwise appears healthy? Are you impatient or is there a set amount of time you give things before making this decision?
