Plumeria - dehydration or stem rot?
Comments (31)unless that's a heated greenhouse its best to keep it out of the cold... Here's something straight out of webpage of one supplier: Care Plumerias require at least 1 inch of rain (or equivalent watering) each week. More water may be required for plumerias growing in containers, but don't overwater or the trunks will rot. Feed plants twice a month during the growing season with a high phosphorous fertilizer. Plumerias normally require little pruning, but any shaping should be done in spring. Plumerias are sensitive to cold and should be protected when temperatures dip into the 40Fs. Check periodically for pests such as spider mites, white flies, and mealybugs. Use a horticultural oil or insecticidal soap to control these pests....See MoreHELP! Mature Plumeria Tree Showing Signs of Stem Rot
Comments (7)Some time back I noticed one of my older trees would naturally drop under canopy branches in the same way. Somehow the trunk would wall off the branch as if it knows it provides no benefits to the tree and it would start to shrivel from the bottom to the tip. No long term ill effects. I'm not very familiar with "leaf hoppers" so I'll just generalize pest treatment best practices. Do the best you can to spray the canopy from as many angles as possible particularly from below. Most people are comfortable using a Bayer 3 in 1 spray that can connect to the hose. You can thin some branches if you want for shape purposes. I really have a hard time making the too much water connection. It's too mature to be damaged by water except trying to grow it in the middle of a lake. I have seen trees so routinely wet they are covered in lichen and moss. Ugly gnarled and stunted but still alive....See MorePhilodendron Gloriosum Stem
Comments (3)i've rooted the tip of P. gloriosum easily and it's growing fine in line. i've planted it vertically, but after a few leaves it bend and started moving towards the pot rim. it is still growing like this with stem on the surface firmly rooted. the ones in the ground usually creep about an inch underneath - that prolly keeps the roots moister. i have cut other vining philo's and they often form 2 growing buds at the tip. i am sure you'll have no problem cutting yours in 2....See MorePhilodendron Hope- black spots on stem
Comments (4)I repotted because it came from Lowe’s and our store over waters everything. There was a black mark on the stem when I bought it and two of the leaves were pale green so I figured new soil was best. I only water when it’s dried out. Using dowel method. I watered until came out the bottom when I repotted and once after, then relative watered when it shouldn’t have been. So three times since it’s been repotted. I wondered if the pot was too big. The only reason I didn’t downsize was because I didn’t have a smaller planter that was the right size. With covid, there was no planters available anywhere local. I repotted in same and hoped for the best. It could probably stand more light. It’s by my side door, north east light. Going to have to move it soon anyhow because of cold drafts. HC that’s beautiful. I saw that in some of begonia pics you posted. Truthfully I don’t have the space for the type of plant. Once I came to terms with that I was hoping to fix the plant up happy and pass it along to a friend....See Moreasleep_in_the_garden
