Colombino #planthelp Hi!! I need help!!! My columbine isn’t looking too hot!!! I thought it was a classic sign of overwatering or maybe something in my climate but he’s suddenly not looking too good. He went from giving such beautiful and happy leave and maybe hopefully one day flowers … he’s drastically showing purple, brown and wilting leaves and looking sad. He’s in a self water pot, he’s thrived so much in it since I planted his seeds and I recently just gave a tad bit of fertilizer when I noticed him looking odd. But I truthfully don’t know what to do. Any ideas or tips?! #Question #whatshouldido

🐶 🐈 👶 Toxicity
Greg does not have confirmed data on this plant’s toxicity. If you, a family member, or a pet consumes plant material of unknown toxicity, it’s always best to consult a medical professional.
If you or someone else ingested this plant, call Poison Control at US (800) 222-1222. If a pet consumed this plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA at US (888) 426-4435.
🪴 Soil
Aquilegia biedermeier does best in well-draining soil. A good soil will contain lots of organic matter such as coco coir as well as perlite or vermiculite to help with drainage. Adding a handful of perlite to regular store-bought potting soil should do the trick!
💩 Fertilizer
Aquilegia biedermeier should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!
🧐 Troubleshooting
When troubleshooting a sad-looking houseplant, start by checking for signs of distress in its leaves, such as yellowing, browning, or drooping, which can indicate overwatering or nutrient deficiencies.
Inspect the soil moisture; too dry or too wet soil can cause problems.
Ensure the plant is getting the right amount of light, as too much or too little can stress it.
Finally, consider environmental factors like temperature and humidity, and adjust care routines accordingly to revive your plant.
