Discolored leaves...Help Help

16 years ago

On one of my plummies the leaves have been progressively looking not quite right. They look sort of dry. But I know they get enough watering, mostly rain water. I can't see any bugs of any sort, and it's the only one that is doing this. Any ideas?

Maybe your plant is more sensitive than the others and is just starting to shut down for the winter? Noticing some of mine are turning yellow, drooping and starting to drop while others still have inflos and all their leaves...

help with glass tile discoloration problem

It seems to me what you are seeing is the tile as it meets the glue. If you look at the other tile that has not been cut you see the same reflection/pattern. Could be that once the tile was cut it created jagged edges and that's what you see. Look at the last pic you posted on the comments. The tile that has not been cut, you can see half moon reflections that I believe are form the back cut from the factory. The bottom tile that was cut you can see the same but almost in a 90degree angle.

@floral It looks like scarring. hard to describe. But no it's not residue. I did try to wipe it off so it's definitely something going with the leaves themselves. tried to look in the web for something similar and didn't find anything. I thought maybe it was the neem that did the damage or the foliar with the soap but I sprayed the smallest leaves and they are fine. it's only after they grow to that size when the blotches appear. @poncirus @silica Thank you! I've been trying to give it the best care. 🤗

Discolored masonry paint, please help
Q

I repainted my brick porch because the original paint was starting to come off in the high traffic areas. It looked great for a few days, but then there was a heavy rain which severely discolored the paint. It was a bright white and now it is a yellow beige, presumably from pollen. I was told the pollen shouldn't be a problem as long as the surface was clean before painting and the paint was dry (there was no rain for 2-3 days after painting). What should I do now? Apply another coat of paint? I used a high quality masonry paint. Should I be using some sort of sealer? There was no discoloration to the original paint which has been there for a few years.

You can Google for a poultice and try it, but I'm not optimistic. Some stones are sponges and you've got one.

Usually that whitish appearance -- especially if it's grainy -- is indicative of spider mites. Especially near the leaf ribs. Could be a combination of mites and dormancy. or maybe even sunscorch?

It is very grainy looking. Maybe I'll give it a good misting of alchohol and water mix. It's under a sunscreen, so I don't think it's sun scorch.
Thanks for the thoughts, Lauri

Mites are really hard to see unless you get up close and personal. They can be grayish or orangeish. And if you see a small speck and nudge it with your fingertip and it moves, it's a mite.
