Help! I think my orchid is dying!!!
Comments (3)Phals do not need a lot of light, nevertheless, I feel that if the phal in question were getting adequate light 8oz of water would be gone in a few days and the o.p. would not observe that "The soil/moss (whatever it is) is always moist...I don't think it has ever been dry". So, yes, in this situation of constant damp the phal is being overwatereed. I have to wonder just how well the light of the South window is being captured. If you find yourself adjusting watering to save your plant IMO you will eventually lose it anyway, it will just take longer. And the other poster was right. At watering time as much water as necessary to completely flood the pot and run through the drainage holes should be used then do it again! Then let it sit (in the light) for a week (plastic pot) or 3/4 days (clay pot) before watering again. H...See MoreI think my bamboo is dying-please help
Comments (5)Your posting gives no clue as to the variety of bamboo or your location/zone (Arizona, Miami, Boise, Manila?). High summer is really not a good time of the year to be doing major transplanting. (But you may already know this and had no choice I understand.) I would urge you NOT to move the bamboos again. They may well acclimate eventually to their new home. I have had to move bamboo in non-prime times of the year as well (I moved last year). Your bamboos may continue to defoliate. Don't panic at this point. If you keep them well watered, chances are that they will refoliate eventually.--Give them time and be patient. I can say this on the basis of personal experience with plants that I too assumed were goners. I would refrain from fertilizing until growth resumes. And next time try to do any transplanting in early spring before new growth begins. (For me this means March or April.)--Good luck!...See MoreHelp! I Think my Amaryllis is dying!
Comments (18)Xuan... when I picture your name, I picture a beautiful swan gliding effortlessly across a pond in springtime, the banks colored with early blossoms from young trees in lavenders and blush pinks! The translation is quite lovely! My name is too new to have a translation... I've never seen it listed in any book that gives name meanings from long ago. It's actually a combination of my Mom and Dad's names, Joe and Dorothy... and when they named me, they had actually chosen Jennifer... then changed it at the last minute to Jodi. I'm not sure where they got the spelling... the normal way would be either Jody or Jodie... but I'm pretty different, so it fits! LOL! Spring is beyond wonderful for me! As soon as winter sets in, so does depression. Every day that isn't sunny is a blah sort of day... I need the sunshine to feel alive, and the higher in the sky it is, the better I feel! I don't know what they call the syndrome, but lack of sun and cold weather don't agree with me very well, at all! Spring is a time of rebirth, and I absolutely love watching the earth come alive again! I love the scent of spring air, watching the buds and leaves grow everywhere... seeing the first tiny blooms begin to open, and watching the birds and other animals get ready to bring new babies into the world... it's a magical time for me, and it always has been... even as a child! I'm enthralled by the changing palate of color and growth that occurs in spring! I feel reborn every spring! Notice the time stamps on my postings... in spring, they're very early! I love getting up early and enjoying the sunrise with a good cup of coffee! I can hear the birds singing, and I feel the sun coming in the window, warming everything... spring is MY time! I think that with what we've all learned recently regarding soil and water and how it works within the confines of a container, we'll have a much easier time growing our bulbs! I think we will be rewarded with healthy growth, both above and below soil level, and I think next bloom season will be so much better!...See MorePlease help me with my gardenia bonsai, I think it's dying!
Comments (1)Can you post a picture to illustrate the problem? It is often easier if you can describe your problem with a picture. Also location of the plant (indoor//outdoor), your watering habits, and how you fertilize is very helpful in diagnosing problems. Flower buds drying off and falling, browning of leaves happens for many reasons and so little more detail is needed....See Moreianna
