the mystery of the bhindi....

In our last post i mentioned that the bhindi was growing extremely well...and it was until two days ago, when we noticed that the little saplings had begun to droop down into the soil. Initially we thought that the amount of water we were giving them wasn't enough, and so increased the watering levels. But this didnt seem to help. I then realised that some plants were still standing, healthy, and these were far away from each other, surrounded by many drooping ones. This made me think that maybe there were so many plants that they werent getting enough space.
So i decided to transplant them into individual containers. While uprooting the saplings my doubt strengthen. The roots of five saplings had joined into one and the plants looked extremely week. They seemed to have started to fight for the nutrients from the soil. Hopefully, giving them more space will make them grow healthy again!:)
