Stinky,

Thank you very much for your reply. I feared that no1 would answer since the thread is wayy too long (sorry for that).

About superthrive, no I am not using it anymore. I used it a couple of weeks back and it helped promote new growth, but I stopped since I do not want to overnute the plant.

About the pH, I've flushed the plant twice within the last couple of weeks in order to try to raise the pH, but the tap water I get is usually more acidic than alkalyne. I need to get my hands on some product that will raise pH. Could you specifically mention a brand/product name that I can get in HD or Lowe's? I tried to look for stuff in their store but I could not find anything of the sort.

The pot drainage... I made extra holes when I transplanted the plant and I also put a 3/4" layer of Perlite at the bottom so that the soil drains nicely. I think it might be working because when I pick up the pot when it's been ~3 days from watering it feels pretty light. I've tried to see whether the soil is moist at the bottom but I can't since I have that layer of Perlite.

Let me know if you can help me.

Thanks again.
