Cut dying leaves?

[Jsacc106]

Hey all,
I recently had to do a transplant of a two week old dwarf lowflyer autofem due to soil issues (used miraclegrow and was so thick and muddy it took two weeks to dry and was causing my leaves to swell and sag). So I transplanted to Promix with added perlite. It's been 3 days since doing so and it's clear she's not looking good [emoji20] the lowest vegetation is clearly turning yellow and dying but the newer growth above it seems to be maintaining? They're sagging but not turning yellow or drying. So my question is would it be wise to cut the lower growth that's drying or will that cause more stress? I was thinking by removing the bad foliage it may allow the plant to focus on what's alive. If I should cut them, where should I make the cut? Thanks!

Hey there!

I wouldn't personally cut the leaves off - I'd try and get them off the soil if possible!

I'm sure there's a fancy way of doing that, but of the top of my head, i'd tie some string tight around the top of the pot - and from that tied circle, i'd tie 2 more straight tight string lines accross (just off centre) and lift the leaves onto them away from the soil and keep them there until the plant grows it's way away from the soil.

THere may be an easier methods - but i guess would involve sticking something into the soil to lift them up.

hope this helps

I went ahead and unburied her and she seems to be coming back really well!
She's holding her own weight, so hopefully soon, she will start producing more growth!

...a rough start indeed,... well, wait and see,.. being a Lowryder, she'll be small as is, but this one may stunt out badly,...root damage, age, no time to catch up!

Update: she's doing much better and new growth is occurring. Does anyone know since she was stunted for 7-10 days that she will take that long to come into flower, or will that time be lost ? I'm
