Desert rose leaves turnning yellow and falling off
Comments (21)Often suggested is to look in older threads for information Old threads come back to surface ( like this one ) is probably the result of following a suggestion. Anyhoo ( & ironic) 2011( maybe 2010) was the Apx starting year that certain plants had separated from the C&S plant forum. Adenium being one of the plants that where relocated to a different area of the forum ( plant specific) has it's own topic full of threads that can be found by following this link. http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/adenium.

Comments (12)@cari, yes, I will work on acclimating it so it doesn't get shocked. I use pebbles on top of most of my other plants and will do that here too. @rina, I don't know a ton about growing succulents and was trying to err on the side of not being too wet. (Most of my other plants are ferns that I water with mindless abandon and they couldn't be happier. I know succulents need to be treated differently.) I read that succulents absorb water through moisture in the air around their roots, which is why it was important to have coarse soil. Is that incorrect? Mostly I didn't think about it being difficult to rewet until Cari asked, and apparently I was somewhat overconcerned about accidentally drowning the plants. I plugged up the drainage hole last night and have it a long, slow watering to completely soak the soil, and then opened the hole again. Should the echeveria completely dry out until the soil is bone dry before I water again (provided it doesn't croak) or can it be watered when it's just a bit damp still? I was thinking of seeing how the plant does with more water before trying to repot. What are your thoughts? Here's a picture of the soil mix I used. The white bits are pumice. I'd say that picture makes it look like there's more pumice in the mix than there is (meaning more has settled toward the top), but there's definitely a lot more in this than there is vermiculite (I think) in "normal" potting soils. Also this is a pretty small bag, maybe a total of two gallons, just to give some scale to the size of the pieces. Thanks!!...See MoreApple Tree Leaves Turning Yellow and Brown and Falling Off
Comments (3)Was your tree in pot when you bought it? Potted trees often are root bound and hold tightly to the medium they were planted in. Did you spread out the roots before you planted. That could be why the roots cannot fully function. Like others say, over or under watering could kill a tree. I feel that your issue is the roots not functioning properly....See MoreLeaves turning yellow, turning brown, crunching and falling off
Comments (1)That could be drought stress or fertilizer burn. skuiiy: We bought the plant with the shown plastic pot and kept it in there since it seemed to be doing well & producing flowers and fruit. A plant from the nursery producing fruit is often doing so because it's stressed. When tomatoes are stressed, they fruit because the plant rushes to reproduce before it dies. So assuming it's happy because it's fruiting could be incorrect. Even if the pot is OK now, it won't be much longer unless that plant is a dwarf or small determinate. skuiiy: -Gave it liquid fertilizer. -Added about a spoonful of epsom salt to the soil/mulch mix it's in and mixed it in a bit. Epsom salt is really only necessary if the plant has a magnesium deficiency. If not, it could cause problems. Also, it's possible you've given the plant too much fertilizer, which can manifest as leaf burn skuiiy: now I'm watering(about 2 cups of tap water, instead of just 1)every other day starting today to see how that goes. First: Pot it in a much larger container. Gently knock off as much of the current potting mix as possible so that almost all of the mix is fresh, as this will help correct the problem if nitrogen burn is the problem. Use a normal, fluffy, well-draining potting mix, not a mix advertised as moisture-retaining, and not anything labeled as "garden soil". Mix water into the mix well before putting it in the pot, as peat-based mixes can initially repel water if they're dry. Second: Don't measure your water or water on a set schedule. To determine when to water, stick your finger down into the mix a couple inches. If it's dry, water and water very deeply, until the water is running freely out of the bottom of the pot. If it's still wet a couple inches down under the surface, hold off. In your climate, when it gets hot, don't be surprised if you have to water daily. As for fertilizer, you can give the plant a dose according to instructions once a week or every two weeks (depends on how frequently you have to water), or you can water at very dilute strength with every watering (dilute more the more frequently you have to water)....See Morekaryn1
