DIAGNOSIS

Soil depletion. Each new leaf smaller than the last — a classic sign of long-term lack of feeding.

PLAN FOR THE COMING DAYS

  1. 01

    Feed with a balanced fertilizer (NPK 20-20-20)

  2. 02

    Every 2 weeks during the growing season

  3. 03

    Consider repotting into fresh substrate next season
