A couple of days after being potted is when signs of stress of the cultural change will appear more prominently. A certain amount of root damage might trigger the plant into dropping some leaves to better relocate the resources required to maintain it’s overall health. Too much damage to the roots will make it difficult for the plant to absorb water and send it to its extremities, making the plant droopy looking. The presence of Pythium root rot before potting can exacerbate these phenomenon.
It also takes some time for the media to settle in after plants are potted, and we can now notice that some of the plugs might have not been planted deep enough in the pot, or not covered with an adequate amount of soil, which is very much excepted when you do 1200 pots in a few hours.
The students will certainly take the appropriate action, if they decide to do so.
At this point, only a few plants seem to be struggling more dramatically. The vast majority of them seem very satisfied with their new home.
Besides climate control, no actions were required today.
