Hello I got this congo rojo from nursery two weeks back and repotted it into a planter I got from Ikea. Its a self watering planter so it does not have drainage holes. I am trying to understand if this plant is healthy or not. one of the leaf that is coming out does not look healthy or seems to be dying.
If I am seeing your photo correctly, that is just a sheath that pulls back opposite of the leafstalk. I grow a giant variety where my greywater runs out of the house and it gets those.
They dry and shrivel over a week or so. as long as your leaves open up nicely on the opposite side, your all good.
Every time you till, you lose 30% of your organic matter. But this tiny ad is durable:
