phyllanthus mirabillis soft caude
hi, my phyllanthus mirabillis is asleep and has no leaves. I only watered it once during the dormation. last this week. now it has a soft caudex and I don't know if it's a water shortage. or is it rotting? lives in a mixture of sand, stone and peat. south window. flowerpot large 20cm. what should I do? should I water if he doesn't have leaves yet? please help. thanks

1ft to light, indirect

11β pot with drainage

Last watered 2 years ago
@NeatGinseng yes, but just a few tablespoons. Without leaves he doesnβt need much at all.
@NeatGinseng I agree with @Shaubplantshack on this.

A loss of leaves over the winter and spring period is natural due to its dormancy period behaviour. Phyllanthus mirabilis is classed as deciduous, meaning that some or all of its leaves will be lost at some point of the year, during a state of dormancy.
