Watered my plants but still it looks like it needs more water, What to do? Is there a lack of some nutrients or something

[COOL(the.name.taken)]

I have a bitter gourd plant it sprouted nice and grew and started climbing the grills that good, but the problem is that it looks like it needs A lot of water, but after giving it water it looks like it did not get water. It looks so sad (i mean to the point of dying) in afternoon gets up well enough in the evening. How to fix this problem

I am not familiar with Dhaka or gourds so I am really only guessing. My first reaction was some pest eating the roots, but not if it recovers n the evening, does it get very hot in full sun in the afternoons? I wouldn't think nutrients either if it recovers.

yes it recovers but i am worried, there was a bitter gourd plant RIGHT in that place earlier and it died the same manner. It does recover in the evening, but its leaves are turning yellow

Sounds like too much sun in insufficiently fertile soil. Also, never a good idea to plant the same plant in the same place where an identical plant has died. If you have disease in the soil that caused the first plant to die, that disease will be very happy to do the same to the next.

Annie is generally worth taking notice of, so maybe I am wrong about the nutrients. Have you tried a feed? I tend to try tomato feed for standard NPK and seaweed extract for the less common things, a little of each when I water.

And mulch. Trust me on the mulch.

I do have weird insects in my garden but i dont mind them. i will try some mulch as it is found. Maybe i will put a shed in this plant to protect it from too much sunlight. we want some organic result so we will not use much fertilizer. i dont think Tomato feed even is available for sale in my locality. Thanks for your useful and cooperative support. May you All have a sweet gardening experience

Organic doesn't mean no fertilizer, it means no manufactured chemical fertilizers. You use organic fertilizers to grow organic: aged manure from chickens, cows, etc. Blood meal, worm castings, mulch from leaves or shredded bark, guano, or any fertilizer labeled for organic gardening.

Using no fertilizer is not going to grow a strong, healthy plant UNLESS you already have perfectly fertile soil. Then, soil still needs their nutrients replenished because plants use the available nutrients and that depletes the soil over time.

Thank you for your polite reply. I am not over keen on artificial fertiliser myself, the seaweed is organic, but sometimes I find them useful. I have a bottle of tomato feed that I am about half through, and I have only had it three years
One of the joys of this place is its international nature, I have learned a lot about the difference climate makes from the Southern US to Canada, it would be interesting to hear about your garden in a warmer climate still. I imagine the coming cooler season from January would be favourable to a lot of the sort of plants I grow in green houses in Summer, I wonder what grows in your hot season?
Dhaka is huge, there must be every sort of garden there, but you talk of the insects so presumably you have some room. A compost heap is a really useful thing, and in your climate it should work very well. I compost our kitchen waste separately, but I don't suppose that would be a good idea for you, even here it can smell a bit in midsummer. The other problem with kitchen waste I have had is rodents, I have made it so they can't get in now.
My main compost heap is made of staves, about four inches thick, laid two across and then two at right angles, so there is plenty of chance for air. It gets all my prunings , trimmings, weeds, lawn mowings, leaves: all that sort of stick or leaf type of stuff. I mix things in as I put them in, water it, and turn it all regularly, try and keep it good and active so it heats up. That speeds up decomposition, you get compost sooner and if I am successful it kills the weed seeds. I have no idea what weeds there are there, but I bet there is something.
Do hope you stay around and we hear more about how things are going for you.
