Deformed leaves on Mesquite Trees
Comments (10)need more facts ... a 15 gal pot might have a 6 foot tree in it??? a 6 foot tree ... will need up to 3 years to become 'established' .. to be able to take the intense heat of AZ in high summer .. all the growth could have been related to its life the year prior to your transplant ... we dont know ... when did you plant them.. was that the proper planting time for AZ ... how big were they.. what is your native soil .. did you bare root them.. did you plant a big wad of peat based media in native sand?? did you mulch... what was your watering protocol .... can you provide pics?? we need more hard facts ... other than the fact that they have deformed leaves... otherwise we can speculate forever.. and get nowhere .... ken...See MoreLarvae in my basil leaves leaving big brown spots (photos)
Comments (5)I'd just pick off the affected leaves and dispose of them. Since basil is an annual it isn't worth expending much effort or money on saving it and I wouldn't use any pesticide on something I was going to eat. Especially since the larvae are inside the leave so contact products won't work and you'd have to reach for a systemic....See MoreBasil leaves deformed and dark streaks on my cilantro
Comments (11)OK. I didn't realize this was a hydroponic setup either. There is a hydropnics forum here, and you might want to post a question/discussion there. I'm pretty sure you do want to leave the collars on those plants. That's keeping the roots shaded/dark, and that is important. As for the grow lights, what type of "grow light" are you using? Basil and cilantro grow well under white light or a mix of white and blue light. The "bl'urple" (blooming purple) LED grow lights you see on Amazon and other online sources are less than optimal for leafy herbs, especially leafy annuals like basil and cilantro. Those lights tend to have a lot of red in them, and they stimulate a lot of blooming. Your basil and cilantro will bolt quickly under that type of light. I'd be very interested in hearing when your cilantro bolts as it is. In a conventional pot with potting mix, cilantro always bolts when the tap root hits the bottom of the container. The deeper the container, the longer it can grow without bolting, assuming you can keep all the other stresses under control (cool temperatures, proper watering and proper lighting)....See MoreDeformed variegated gardenia leave
Comments (0)So i purchased a plant that tagged as variegated cape jasmine, at first arrival at my home, it seems good and healthy. But after few weeks of my care, new leave emerges but with deformed looks, This is the leave when purchased And this is the new emerged leave that looks kinda deformed, and there are none full green leave. The only fertilizer that i used are worm castings every 2 weeks which means only twice been fed. Regardless of that the leave looks healthy and haven't yet see any struggles. there are mealy bugs 1-2 on the new leave. could it be overfertilized? Oversun exposure?¿...See MoreUser
