Brown and shriveled Black Berry Leaves
Comments (0)My black berry plant has been growing strong for the last 2 months. All the sudden the leaves shriveled up and most of the leaves have big brown spots on them. Any thoughts why this is happening?...See MoreBrown spots on leaves and shrivelling!
Comments (2)It is possible to post pictures, if you don't mind crying from frustration. Your plant may be too cold and wet, or the old leaves are getting ready to be taken off. Make sure there is nothing hiding down in the leave, if so use soapy water or alcohol with water and spray that on the plant, do so with the roots as well, is the soil clean. What Haworthis is it, and what zone do you live in? Are they growing in the house? They do take low light but do need some indirect light. Perhaps the pot is too small, and the roots cannot support the leaves, if it is the bottom leaves trim the off, you may need to cut back some of the roots as well, or take out the dead roots. Not knowing where you live and what kind of soil, the temperatures, not knowing the species it could be any one of the above problems. Good luck, please report back regarding this plant.

Comments (2)Those photos are too small for me to tell if it's what my Aunt Ruby's had, but it was a virus and I killed the plants and burned them.. I gave away a few of these to friends and family and am monitoring their status closely. Where did you get your seeds?...See MoreSucculents: propagation leaves shriveling.
Comments (32)Most succulents get darker color in appropriate amount of sun. There are many different sempervivums, more than 3000 named cultivars. Some are very similar looking. They are Alpines, and grow in mountains at approx. 3000-8000m. Maybe you would find some if you went for a hike in the mountains :) Plant that was red may have not get as much sun as it can take. SE exposure sounds good, but if there are any trees or buildings, they could filter some of the sun. Even some railings on the balcony could be obstructing the sun. Morning sun is usually not as intense. Ppl in warm zones have sometimes problems because of the heat, and keep them in shadier spots. I have them probably in too much sun, it is open area with E,S and west unobstructed exposure. I hardly ever water them, usually if it doesn't rain for about a week. Maybe you are watering to much? In Germany, the climate is good for them. I would keep them on the balcony whole year round. I see from the photos that they are growing well, and there are many offsets/chicks. In 2nd photo, many are very open: if plant wants more sunlight, it opens up - flattens, so there is bigger area to get the sun. Colors also lighten up, gets greener if plant was darker, or even very light green. This happens with many succulents. Here is photo of the same plant in poor light and in lots of sun: They should be acclimatized to stronger sun, or they get a sunburn. But now days are getting shorter, and sunlight is not as intense....See MoreRTavs
