Help! Transplant Shock ! 2:00 est
Comments (31)Taz was asking if you bought your light table new from a store or did you buy it used from an individual. He was asking not because of the age of the light table, but to see if the bulbs originally placed in the fixture might have been of a lower wattage. But since you've said before that the old bulbs were 20W, which I assume you can read printed on the bulb, then...well...that's what was in there. Whew. I feel like this thread reads like 'Who's on First?' :) Oh, and before you go buy new fixtures, just try starting a few seeds under these new bulbs from the get-go. I mean, like 5 seeds. Just to see. Because, like say, those old leggy zinnias were goners. You just can't 'fix' legginess once it's that bad....See Moreneed some help with transplant shock
Comments (4)Do you mean root stimulator is never beneficial, or not in this case? I've included a link to a pic of the plant I have. The information I have read says it is tropical, but it isn't what I think of as a foliage plant. That is, it isn't without blooms and its foliage isn't lush and unique. Here in Houston, it keeps its leaves through the winter. In that regard, it may be considered a foliage plant, I guess. Its flowers and berries do attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. It is in place in the restored bed and I have mulch ordered. The leaves look a little droopy, but it isn't turning brown anywhere. It is in bright sun until two or three in the afternoon, which seems consistent with what I have read of its requirements. If it is suffering root damage, does that cause it to need more shade and water than what a healthy specimen of this plant would take? That is what I am trying to determine here. I should have been more specific regarding my question. Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreHelp! Transplant shock?
Comments (16)Hi Chris , I am in Southern Ontario so pretty much the same growing zone as you and probably weather wise too ( are you from Stratford by any chance?) . For daylilies I get from mailorder, I always cut back my daylilies when I plant or replant them . The inverted V as Simpleton mentioned. When you dig and plant a dayliliy it is more than possible that all the old leaves will die back but new growth will come from the center and within a fairly short time you will never know that the plant looked stressed at all. However when I go to a grower's place i like to bring them home intact. I just water them well as they are plantied and let the plant do it's thing . The will look stressed for a while but will quickly recover . If leaves die I simply remove them ....See MoreHow to help plumeria out of transplant shock?
Comments (13)Mike, According to wikipedia: "The hormone 1-Naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) does not occur naturally. Under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), products containing NAA require registration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as pesticides. The sale of Superthrive is prohibited in Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Oregon as an unregistered pesticide." So if you buy it online as a "fertilizer," what do they have to say to that? :) Kenny...See MoreUser
