I can't figure out why my 940 Mombert tends to wilt so much more than
my 876.5 Lloyd. Both plants are at about the 6 leaf stage but the
940 leaves really droop, EVEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE
IS ONLY IN THE 80s. I'm wondering if maybe the 940 doesn't have
roots developed enough to support the huge folliage that it puts out.
I'm giving it lots of water and a fertilizer very heavy on the
phosphorus to promote root growth, but nothing seems to be working at
this point. Hmm.
ANY IDEAS? WHY WOULD ONE PLANT WILT MORE THAN ANOTHER?
HAVE ANY OF YOU NOTICED THAT SOME PLANTS TEND TO DO BETTER
IN HOT CLIMATES?

I would treat the root zone with Liquid Diazion about a gallon mix per plant,
there may be something eating the roots. Some AG's do just wilt more than
others.
