Please help..Every frustrating. Picture of brown leaves.

All of a sudden, leaves on a few of my begonias will do this..

Can someone tell me what it could be..I do not put them in full sun..Morning or late afternoon sun is what I provide..I wait until after the mix has dried out before watering again.... I use a well aerated mix that dries out rapidly..

Any help would be appreciated..Thank you so much..

Thank you very much.

Mike

Please help clivia leaves yellow with picture

I have a clivia about twelve years old that looked like this one year when I procrastinated too long in the Fall, and didn't bring it in until a light frost hit it. I just trimmed back the leaves to the healthy part, and saw no ill effects. To be on the safe side, in case this is not the problen, I would moisten a cotton ball or cloth with alcohol and wipe off my cutting tool after each cut and dispose of the leaves in the trash, and not in a compost bin.

I alternate between a couple of them; always with added vinegar due to my irrigation water pH of 9+. Most often it is Liquid Gold (Master Nursery/EBStone) [15-6-3] Then, Foliage Pro [9-3-6] And lastly once every 2 months (and because i bought a bunch of it years ago-cheap) Miracle Grow - very weak solution. this is not a cheap method, but its the only way i have found to feed the citrus during the heat season and keep it growing without using excessive water. [there are improvements and changes that i need to make to the irrigation, but unable to attack that project at this time. So i am stuck with what i have for now]. I used to mix it all in a watering can and apply to pre-wet soil. I mixed for a 1 gallon amount, but in a full 1.5 gallon can (so a bit weaker solution). 1 can per tree (or more if taller than 6ft.). Today i tried a sprayer and believe it worked well. I used a Hudson hand-held sprayer that has a metering knob. I could turn the liquid addition off, and then adjust up to 1 Tbsp /gal. This turned out to be a much faster and more convenient method (45 citrus trees) so i think i will stick with it. -George

Brown spots on grape leaves. Please help.
Q

Daconil, "Chlorothalonil", is a fungicide. Are those spots caused by a fungus or by insects? Spraying the wrong material to control something it cannot control is not only a waste of your money, time, and energy, but causes considerable environmental harm.

Hi, I had the same problem, one of the garden pro's gave me some very good advise, and I saved it to my clippings. Just click on my "my page" and my clippings, and it is the first 2 clippings there. The link below has very discriptive pictures that helped me determine it was probably early blight with some possible bacterial spots. I think my yellowing leaves have already slowed down with just one dose of the baking soda spray. Be sure to read both of the clippings, and remember for next season to spray every 7-10 days to prevent the problem. Good luck! http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/tomatoproblemsolver/index.html

Hi rainygarden..

I was told it was a disease and without looking at the link, I can't remember..

It is one that is still in farfard mix which is basically 80% bark, the rust perlite and peat..

I normally grow most my plants in a gritty mix or a mix with very little peat, such as 5 parts bark, one part peat, and one part perlite..

Do have a recommendation? Another idea?

Thank you for asking..:-)

Hi: No, I don't that's why I was asking. The 5-1-1 isn't working for the very small plants I have. I tried to add more peat and that didn't help. I am now spraying
RD-20 fungicide in case it is some kind of fungus. But I think it's too late and now I'll try to root the leaves from the only plant left.

Hi rainygarden,

Mine is not in the 5.1.1 mix...I usually use it, but this time I was lazy and just used the Farfard mix..

I am really starting to think there is some kind of blight going around....Al at the houseplant forums pointed it out to me and I was reading that this disease, affects begonias and grape leaves especially.. Go figure, right?

I have never grown one before, thought I would try, and the only two I have do this...

I am going to do what Al says, and remove all the affeceted leaves and start a couple of cuttings...
I hope it works....:-(
