Burn spots on the leaves
Comments (1)i'm having the same problem. i have a tiny crimson queen cultivar that is placed on a shady patio. i don't water it very often since its soil is usually moist. i started misting the leaves at night, but it's just getting worse. almost all the leaves are getting crinkled and brown....See MorePlumeria leaves burning - help
Comments (12)Thanks for all the responses. Lynne - I was thinking that a week ago and gave it a fairly good watering. It's on sprinklers every other day but that may not be getting deep enough. How often/how much should I water? Pharoah and Mike Before I read the last post, I sprayed again. And I also saw a few more thin webs between leaves. Looked hard but didn't see anything. I'm wondering if I should wash it off in the morning?...See MoreSun burning leaves again!
Comments (18)Pharaoh - after reading all the replies I'm convinced I'm way under watering. So I hope to correct that starting this week. Thank you! Lonnie - that's pretty hot! But we're not much far behind sometimes in temps. I guess my micro-climate is quite different from other S CA locations. I wish I have dappled shade after 2pm because our afternoon sun is so intense! :( Hopefuly watering more will help. Beachplant - I only have a few pots in the gritty mix. I had only tried it once and it was too much physical labor for me to handle so I stopped. Those in the gritty mix get watered every 2-3 days. The ones in 1 gallons are watered twice a week. It's the 5 Gal (which most of my plumeria are in) and up that get watered once a week. So I will have to increase watering accordingly. Will report the results later. Thanks!...See MoreToo much sun??

Comments (4)Was that cactus green at one point? Is it mushy? I just left my plants for six days, the temps were between 90-100 degrees during the day. I watered all my plants the day I left (watering until water came out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pots) I didn't water them at all until the 6th day when I returned home, and I had no problems. My staghorn fern was a little wilted but bounced right back after being watered. My point is, one of the best things about succulents is they can handle some neglect every once in awhile. Unless I'm leaving for several weeks I don't let anyone touch my plants. The only instructions I left for the person who lives on my property was to not touch/water them. If your cactus isn't mushy than its probably a lighting issues. The other plants with the exception of that brown one in the long planter all look ok and if they looked different than when you left them they should bounce back. When in doubt don't water. I have a haworthia coarctata that will turn very dark green when exposed to a lot of light. Unless it's burned, the burn spots are obvious and white. It had gotten a burn spot when I first brought it home, the burn was on a lower leaf which I was able to cover with gravel but now it's hardly noticeable....See Moretapla (mid-Michigan, USDA z5b-6a)
