Thanks Weezard. I poured soil into another container (exactly same size/type, i bought four at the time) and weighed it, it came to 2lb 8 oz. I know i've used exactly the same amount of soil because i measured it with a jug before as i did this time so that was helpful.

The smaller plant with the yellow spots weighed exactly the same as the fresh container, so i haven't repotted her. I didn't water her today because the soil meter (which i'll never use again) said moist, but it said almost dry on the larger, wetter plant ! Also, the smaller plant isn't drooping like the larger one.

So the large one is now repotted, that was quite scarey, took me a while to probe the extent of the roots then lift her out and gently brush the wet soil from her.

So, using the weight method, the smaller plant doesn't seem to be over-watered. What do you think those yellow spots may be, they are only on two of the leaves and only on the tips of the serrated edges.

Thanks again for your help, i was beginning to panic and no-one had responded on another forum i've joined so i'm really grateful


Cheers,
