If they were drooping badly after watering, then you probably over watered...they should stand tall when getting the right amount of water and light! The leaves should almost look like they are reaching for the light!

good luck man! :jointsmile:
good advice from all above....i always try to let my water sit for 24 hours and to get to room temps....i have heard this from some good sources(not scientific)but watering with colder water stunts the roots for upto 72 hours...this means your plant is idle for 3days...so especially in winter it is good to let your water warm up and if it has chlorine it can gas off also...another good reason for letting your water sit:thumbsup:
stra8outtaWeed Reviewed by stra8outtaWeed on . Ideal temperature for watering?!? What would be the ideal temp for watering? I've heard about 68-70. My water out of the tap this time of year feels like it's probably not much above freezing....probably 40-50 degrees. I let it sit out, but it sits in my cold basement and probably doesn't even get up to 60 degrees. What is the lowest you can go before it will start to harm/stunt your plants? I noticed after watering today that the two plants were drooping hard... and they really needed water! The only thing I can think Rating: 5
