Fall leaves in my garden, can I leave them there like a mulch?
Q
Comments (5)
The leaves that fall from the trees growing in my yard get mulch mowed back into the soil they came from to feed the soil the trees are growing in. I pick up leaves on excursions to town to shred for mulching my planting beds and to make compost. As justaguy indicated whole leaves tend to matt together and make a somewhat impervious barrier to plant growth and if possible you should shred those leaves some way. A rotary mower is a fairly good machine to use for that if some simple precautions are taken first. You do need a fairly solid stand for the mower, blocks ot keep the mower from moving without interfering with raking the leaves under the mower deck. A means of catching the leaves as the mower mulches them, a cage of some kind, or a bag on the mower so you can pick them up as you mow so you need not rake them.

Ficus Ginsen Type S leaves curling and falling - Help please!
Q
Comments (4)
Based on the photos you provided, it appears that your Ficus Ginseng is experiencing some stress. It's possible that the plant is suffering from root rot due to the soil being too moist for an extended period of time. However, this could also be a natural response to acclimating to its new environment. To check if there is root rot, carefully remove the plant from its pot and inspect the roots. Healthy roots should be white or light brown in color, while rotted roots will appear dark, mushy, and may emit a foul odor. If you do find signs of root rot, you will need to repot the plant to save it. Choose a pot one size larger than the current pot and use fresh, well-draining soil. Gently remove any rotted roots, being careful not to damage healthy ones, and plant the tree in the new pot. If you don't find signs of rot, then it's likely just the plant adjusting to its new environment. Keep an eye on it and make sure not to overwater it. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings and only water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

HELP white spot on leaves and leaves falling
Q
Comments (7)
Thank you all for those answers. I keep my citrus indoor but I've put them one or two week on my patio in the middle of summer. I don't know if it's sunburn because white spot continue to appears months after I've put my plants indoor and away from the sun. I think it's a chemical burn most likely. One time, and one time only (hopefully) I used a "water spray" for human face on my citrus to hydrate them. But the water contain sodium, sulfate, bicarbonate, chlorine, nitrate, silicon dioxide... :(
