how to correct for too much water
Comments (4)Try Al's (tapla) wicking technique. Stick something that will wick out excess water, up through a drainage hole, a few inches into the soil in the bottom of the pot. Leave a few inches of the wick hanging out the bottom of the container. I've used ~8" strips of faux chamois, cut about 1/4" wide. I use a pair of long tweezers to insert the wick. If you don't have long tweezers, take a length of straight clothes hanger wire, and sharpen one end a bit. Catch the sharp point on the material, and shove it in. Frequently, the excess water starts dripping out immediately....See MoreHow much water is too much?
Comments (3)I planted my bulbs out in a raised bed and they got weeks of COLD rains almost nonstop. I lifted them on January 13th. They were fat and beautiful. The question is how well your bulbs would take HOT weater with lots of rain. Apparently, they are okay with cold rain in cold weater. Some of them had a rotting layer outside of the healthy ones, but it looks like as if it were created to protect the bulb from further problems or water... When I peeled the thick brown layer away, the bulb is pristine, white and firm underneath....See Moretoo much sun, lack water or too much water??echeveria black princ
Comments (7)this is second pics, actually I already moved it to this smaller pot and make the rootball exposed again to the air and put it back to the coffee table next to glass door in my apartment. I don't think this is too much water, it looks dry on the yellow leaves...is it stressed out because I moved it with too much sun? I thought echeveria like fuller sun...or maybe because I never water it thoroughly because of traumatic with all the leaves drops and rotten before? when it gonna grow new rossettes on the stem>? I read it will grow new rossettes head on the stem, is it true?? should I water it or just let it be...?? please advise soon...help...i dont want to lose this again...See MoreHow much water is too much?
Comments (16)Hey hey, Paula, you are a bit under the weather there!!! OMG, that is more rain than we got a couple of weeks ago....and I thought 17 inches in 36 hours was a lot. You have topped that. However, it will dry out quickly,and you will be having to water things again. Like we were initially supposed to have a piece of that storm system. Don't you know we have not gotten a DROP of rain!!! Too bad, because I held off watering expecting to be inundated with it. So tomorrw after I visit the doc, I'll be watering again. Before we reach the 101 degrees predicted for next week, I'm moving things yet again to a shadier spot. Even though it says "shade tolerant" I think that shade is pretty well lit up. I lost one plant with the rain, it was Eskimo Pie, because there was a broken piece of pottery in the bottom of the pot, and it blocked the drain hole. I did not see it until the heat began again, and the petiole keeled over. We only had about 4 inches of water standing in a good part of the garden, so not as bad as you have it in Jax. Keep your powder dry, not exactly sure what to say about your potted plants. Any high ground? In Louisiana there is a saying, It's hard to remember your intent was to drain the swamp when you're knee deep in alligators....See MoreStPaulGal
