Peppers Plant: Wrinkled leaves, dead ends, & scarred fruit
Comments (5)Thanks for the reply. It does look like a calcium or magnesium deficiency, which if it is, is not likely due to lack of the nutrients but an uptake issue as you said (I use epsom salts foliar and bone meal in the soil). Does epsom salt increase soil salinity over time? The location is near the ocean and salt build up is a concern. Also, can high soil salinity effect nutrient uptake, like a mineral or ph level imbalance can? I don't believe it is a calcium deficiency though because I am not experiencing BER. The bottom (flower end) is not soft/mushy/rotten but tough and scarred like in the pictures above. Thrips and some spider mite damage may be at play, but again this seems unlike to be the problem since only new leaf growth is effected (maybe I'm wrong here, perhaps the pest are only attacking the young shoots first). It seems the most important, stand alone issue is trying to understand what is causing those dead ends and flowers to fall off, this is an issue I am having trouble explaining with any of the pest or nutrient issues we just discussed. Thanks for the input! I still haven't figured it out and need all the help i can get...See Moretwisted & wrinkled leaves on my peach trees.
Comments (2)d**n the luck, last year it was brown rot. it's too late to treat the trees now. from what I've read I should fertilize with nitrogen & remove 1/2 the fruit to reduce stress levels. . treating with a fungicide is recommended when they are dormant. if I treat i'd have to paint the trees with it with a brush as i have have 15 bee hives near these trees....See MoreWrinkled leaves - Echeveria runyonii
Comments (7)There is no way that an indoor Echeveria or Pachyphytum being watered every 3 days is not getting enough water. It's too much water, and almost certainly poor drainage, but there is also a chance that the problem has led to stem rot. Make a new mix without sand or manure. Manure is more likely to kill than help a succulent. They live in very dry conditions with little if any organic matter. Sand doesn't allow enough gas exchange and retains too much water. Once it's in a better mix, allow the top 1/2 of the soil to completely dry out between waterings. A mix of at least 50% perlite is adequate for most growers. If you tend to baby your plants to death, eliminate the organic material entirely and use a gritty mix. If you use a gritty mix, you can get away with watering so frequently, but no other medium drains fast enough for an indoor succulent to survive being watered every 3 days. If the stem has rotted or died (I recently bought an Echeveria moranii that had done this), then it'll continue to shrivel despite a new mix and drier conditions. If after a couple weeks in healthy soil or grit, it is stl shriveled, check back here and someone will help you figure out whether the stem has died....See MoreJade plant has wrinkled leaves after treatment for Powdery Mildew
Comments (14)I am looking at the photo from May 16th (I didn't notice it before) and that looks like some bugs. And you say they came back. Can't tell for sure what they are, but they look like scale. I am surprised, have not seen scale on jades yet (maybe just my luck?) and I have grown many of them over the years. Anyway, test if scale: take a q-tip or cotton ball or even soft tissue or rag. Moisten in rubbing alcohol and wipe over the 'thing'. Do not 'push' hard; if scale, it will die on contact and comes off very easily. Scale is quite regular in shape, circle or oval, just slightly raised in the center. Google photos of scale and you'll see how they look. They do not move, rather stay in same spot. Almost as they are glued to the plant. You could scrape scale off easily with your fingernails...I prefer the wiping. Don't like dead bugs under my fingernails, lol. If you try that, it also should come off easily. If you have to scrape hard to the point of damaging leaves, it isn't scale IMO....See MoreUser
