WHOA dude... it looks like the sun just dried it right up?! now I'D like to know what happened to it!

[need4pot]

wolf~ i have no idea what exactly happened.... it was in the dark area since it's an outdoor plant.... (i mean really outdoor) but there was typhoon few days ago so i moved it the attic and i figured it was sunny today so i'd just get it out to absorb some sunshine and when i went to check again just now... it's what you see now.... i have no idea what happened too... anyway i can fix it?

Have you tried watering it?
Edit: Looked closer at the pic, soil looks dark (=damp?) but does that pot have drainage? It's too small for that plant btw. You could have root rot, also whatever your fert is- does it have a lot of N in it?

Wow, that happened in a day? Poor lil' guy. (and that does look like a "guy" plant, by the way, if you didn't know)

edit: duh, sorry, I see I replied to one of your other threads about that.

yeah it's got drainage in the pot... i'm replacing the pots tomorrow... don't really have much time for that today... anyway... i'm not sure about the soild.... and yes i've watered it... and.... that just happened to me in like.... a spam of few hours wut should i do?!.....

Get it back in the shade before it loses more water.

[need4pot]

the leafs are super soft... and have some sorta "wet" feel to it... so i should move it back to the dark area with no sunlight? is that what i should do? hmmm.. ok let me go do it now.... hopefully by tomorrow the plant will come back alive.... *sniff*

When you put a plant in direct sun, it starts to transpire very fast because all that light makes it use up water to make sugar (the primary reaction of photosynthesis requires the water molecule to donate a hydrogen to the new carbohydrate molecule).
You can slow it down by decreasing the light intensity.
Also sniff around the drain hole of the pot and if it smells funny, you have a problem. Root rot is the other cause for a plant looking close to death all of a sudden like that, and it's the reason to have LOTS of drainage and only water when the soil is dry.

the plant died..... R.I.P w/o any puff puff... shizo!!! let's hope the other 2 doesn't die....
