They are extremely healthy as and I water these daily also. The lettuce breaks down because the slugs, slaters and other small bugs eat it all. I n the process creating leaf mould inside. i would assume if you aren't feeding them then you maybe washing away what little nutrient they have. Cheers Richard |

Try a little liquid fertiliser (said it twice because it usually works due to trace elements etc) Dipping in the whole plant causes water to soak in properly, removing any air bubbles and forcing water into the whole mount, if its mounted etc. It may be that its got a fungal growth. A little copper sulphate wil lhelp with this or some anti fungal preparations (though that may be overkill) Let us know how you go. |
