    What's your weather like 2026

    7c here and going up to 9c. Broken cloud and a light breeze. Dry for most of the day, but rain setting in after dark and turning heavy tomorrow.

    Plant not doing good

    I agree, also try to ensure the compost doesn't dry out until its established itself. Also, don't feed it until it's improved.
