So because of the wonderful advice (especially this gem ) I got after this post, I finally got around to repotting my plants last week. Unfortunately this has not resulted in their miraculous recovery as I was hoping for.

Still, check out Bruno and Sidney in their damn swanky handmade Czech pottery. (And yes, the tiny pot beside Bruno is the one he used to live in. I know I'm a bastard )

So any more advice on how to prolong their miserable lives would be muchly appreciated.

So this is my tree. I bought him about a month ago, and since then he has been looking increasingly sad-looking. Which upsets me, as I don't know how to cheer him up. I talk to him, I gave him a name, I water him every two days and feed him plant food stuff every week. The care instructions were rather limited, vaguely telling me to keep the soil damp. There's also plenty of sunshine and the room is nice and warm. It's a Pachira Green Star, dunno if that means anything to anyone...

So here you can see that he looks all droopy and sad...

And here you can see that pot that he lives in. Maybe it's too small?

And a close-up of the discolouration.
