Night Blooming Cyrus - May 17th, 2005 at 05:03 AM
About 7 months ago I received a potted night blooming cyrus from a friend of mine. This was my first plant ever. It was in a very tiny pot. So, I transplanted it into a 10" pot using miracle grow potting soil. It is an inside plant because I live in Virginia (the winters are cold and it rains every other day in the summer).
Since then I have read: do not replant, use sandy soil, keep in a very sunny spot, and it only needs water after the soil is completely dry. I have done the oppitsite of all these. And... not a big surprise...my plant is almost 5 ft tall in random spurts, has 6 leaves and now the tips of the "vine things" and leaves are turning brown.
When I look at my plant I am pretty sure it is dying. I really want to bring it back around, and on the road to "recovery". If you can give me detailed instruction as to what this poor thing needs (other than a new owner,lol)....Please help!
