How long to fix yellowing problem on my gardenia (chuck hayes)
Comments (10)I am not sure if the plants were grown in a greenhouse but I did buy direct from the grower here in NC so there is no chance of regional relocation issues (greenhouse maybe but I am not sure). I will not be adding any fertilizers until spring and the only thing that I added during planting was bio-tone. The compost was bought in bulk (1 cubic yard dumped in my truck bed) from a much place. The only description offered was "Certified Compost: 100% composted materials from food grade production residuals, yard trimmings, and aged sawdust. This product is very light and fluffy and includes the nutrients necessary for healthy planting and for reseeding yards." I mixed this 2:1 compost:existing clayish soil and did end up with good drainage (via the puddle method). I think I will poke around this weekend with a moisture probe to see if there are major differences in the soil under each plant. I have previously checked for bugs but didn't see anything I will check again and maybe apply a pesticide just in case....See MoreYellowing Leaves/Different Problem
Comments (2)Hi Vera, I don't think it's dryness, they're all on pebble trays, & among those that are doing well, there's even new growth (& you being in Jersey, know it got kind of cold lately). I'd guess that dryness would affect more than a few. No, I never did figure out what happened to my other one with severe yellowing (alleged Coronaria), but that one's gone. Well I got kinda crazy abt the Shephardii & did turn it out to look. The mix was weird, so I replaced it. I started using Coir last yr., most of the Hoyas all loved it. Maybe I had too much coir in the Shepardhii, the mix was sort of very dry & dusty crumbly, reminiscent of sawdust, strange. So it's had all new mix, a good watering & now I've just got to give it time. The Pubicalyx that's having a bit of this, was a troublesome one abt a yr. ago. I think I had replaced its mix then & it stabilized for the yr., now it just has that one yellowing leaf, which interestingly, had been holding on tight, 'til I just pulled it off. As to the Kerrii, my original is fine, my rooted cuttings, so, so, still one yellowing leaf, otherwise its other growth & the mix look OK, it's my mix & was only potted up in summer, so I think that's OK. Perplexing ... & thanks for asking....See MoreMy problem: yellowing/drying leaves, some purplish, no spots ...
Comments (1)What are the dimensions of the planter, and how deep is the soil in there? It looks like there are too many plants crowded too close together, in a planter that is too small for them. They are competing with each other for a very limited supply of water and nutrients, and starving each other out. -- BC --...See MoreMy lemon leaves brought inside leaves turning blotchy yellow help plz
Comments (2)I found an article with photos and I think it’s “edema ” I just have no clue how to treat it because it’s caused by humidity or overwatering which I haven’t been doing that, I’m a once a week waterer or infestations. I did spray before bringing them inside with Wilson’s bugx. I also wiped the leaves down with isopropyl alcohol 2 weeks later. Maybe it was the alcohol but I read that can kill the bugs. I’ve never dealt with a more fussy plant in my life than these lemons. I’m kind of hoping my trees don’t go dormant right now they’re flowering like crazy with new shoots and leaves. They seem to like the grow bulbs. It’s a ge flowering spectrum grow light. Thanks for any help....See Moredoveuvpeace_yahoo_com
