soil looks bone dry .. where is the mulch.... spray was a waste of money and time were they root bound from the pot... did you untangle the roots.. did you amend the soil. [never] ..... do you ever water deeply thru the root zone???? did you add fert in the planting hole [never] ???? it is planted 3 to 5 feet too close to the wood fence ... ken

Great that you got the original one going. What is the model? I have (I think it is) a DC-11 (older -- maybe 25 yrs old now), but I use a little Sunbeam Oskar so much more. It was my parents and they didn't use it, but I gave them the DOG of a small Black & Decker mini chopper that I had, even though I hated the thing because it wouldn't mince parsley. The Oskar gets used for when I need to mince a lot of garlic or ginger or leafy stuff in a hurry. Sleevendog, that Rhubarb BBQ sauce sounds good. Recipe? I have tons of rhubarb, but because it wants sweetener, I tend to just give it away or make only a few things with it. I love salsas and thought that the ground cherries (if I got any after the chipmunks and birds were stuffed) would make a fun salsa or chutney. BTW, on the DC-11, the thing that annoys me is that the bowl fits stiffly and usually I have to whack it to loosen it enough to remove. I've tried oil, silicone spray, whatever, but no help. I even looked closely at the attachment places on the base and bowl (Williams Sonoma gave an extra bowl with it, but that bowl is no better. I hate to remove any material from the base. Any ideas? Sometimes I use it to make a quick dough or for chopping and what not. Have fun chopping and milling away. Maybe you can have both working simultaneously. How nice of banjo man!

Two days later. Any more thoughts now? Watering system not a problem as far as emitters or pressure. Only difference in placement is that this one is on the point. No evidence of tunneling creatures. Good. 1 of the healthy plants in picture 3 above. Not so good. Same hurting plant as above in pictures 1 and 2. Needs more water????

Wow, it is puzzling. It doesn't look like an ower-watering issue to me, but since we're not coming up with any more likely possibilities, then it is something to consider. This late in the year, it has likely stopped growing, even in Florida temperatures. Pothos tolerates drying out pretty well, so let the top couple of inches dry between waterings. How long have they been in that soil? Did they grow well all summer? If so, they might be a bit pot bound now, which can cause some dry spots in the soil, or some roots to become so restricted that they aren't able to draw enough water. It isn't the best time of year to re-pot, especially if something else is causing the problem, but you should at least check this. Can you pull the entire plant out of the pot with the soil and rootball intact? If so, a photo would help us. Check the root ball and medium for dry or mushy spots, for discolored or necrotic roots, for root parasites, crowding, etc. A few, small disrupted places in the root ball where you dig in to check the condition won't hurt it, even this time of year, and if it's very pot-bound, you can plop the entire thing into a larger pot of soil until the spring when you can do a better job or repotting, detangling, root-trimming, and so on. What parts of the plant are affected the most? Were the oldest/lowest leaves on each stem affected first/worst/most, or is the damage worse on the younger, more tender leaves? Are there any parts of the plants that aren't affected? When was it last fertilized, with what, and how often? (Do not fertilize it now- that's the worst thing one can do to a sick plant if the illness isn't due to fertilizer nutrient deficiency.) It might just be lighting, but the plant in the upper photo appears to have an overall yellowish pallor. That would support Tiffany's hypothesis of too much water. Also, I see a yellow leaf near the base of a stem in the second photo near that little sprig of Acacia or whatever it is that's taken root there. Some yellowing is normal, but check through the lower leaves for more yellowing. Too much water or nitrogen deficiency both tend to affect older/lower leaves first. Evenly yellowing lower leaves is more indicative of too much water or poor drainage, while yellowing that begins at the leaf margins is more often nitrogen deficiency. Other things can cause yellowing though, and that curious staining appearance isn't typical of either issue, so don't fertilize at this point.
