  • Question

    My plant: Pachira aquatica, recently shed its healthy leaves and wilted away. I was told it was overwatering which caused its stress. I have unplanted the plant from the pot dried it’s soil, let the roots air for 36 hrs and then I replanted it with minimal water and plant food. I am determined to nurse this plant back to good health. Please help, with instructions to nurse the plant to good health. Thank you in advance for your help.

    Dear ParamveerSS, good morning. Go Botany is a website designed for wild plants of New England. If you would like help with cultivated species, contact nursery@NativePlantTrust.org. The folks in the nursery will have much better information than I have for helping you with your plant. Good luck!
