Leaves wilt, but the soil is wet

  1. Leaves wilt, but the soil is wet
  2. Vegetables wilt by day, recover a little at night, roots smell. Someone at home watered as if it were drought.
  3. Wilt by day, a little recovery at night, smelly roots — that is drowning, not drought. Another watering finishes them. Drain, let air in, wait for new white roots, then a light feed. Fertiliser on a wet root is a second injury.
叶蔫,土却是湿的
