Why do you think this is??

Thanks, Johnny Green Hats.


assuming that both post have had the same treatmesnt as far as
watering and feeding, then the on in the terracotta pot will be less
developed as terracotta is porous so water is lost through the pot.



Or maybe the plants are not genetically identical and the difference in the
pots is an unrelated coincidence, or something else. We don't know.
