Please help - not sure what's wrong with my BofP??
Comments (3)I don't claim to be an expert, but since it happened right after the repotting, and you haven't changed its location or watering regime, it seems like the problem is the soil or the pot. Since there's more soil now, the plant should need watering less often than it did before, so my first suspicion would be overwatering, although (without knowing your climate) every two weeks in summer seems pretty infrequent. Just in case, I'd check to make sure it's not root rot. I've had plants get the rot right after repotting, I guess because the pot or soil were infected or because it was susceptible at that point. Turn the plant out of the pot--are the root tips firm and white? If they're brown and mushy, that's rot. Sometimes plants with root rot can be saved by immediate intervention--remove the plant, trim the diseased roots, throw out the potting soil (the entire bag), bleach the pot to sterilize it, and repot, maybe adding a little sand to improve drainage. Keep the plant on the dry side for a bit and see if it recovers....See Moreplease help. what happened to my new palisades zoysia? dfw, tx
Comments (5)I think it takes a while for zoysia to get fully established. I noticed that they wilt rather quickly if gone too long without water early on. 8 weeks isn't long enough for sure. Maybe the sprinklers are off or something. Put tuna cans everywhere and see how much water they get during your normal watering time and adjust it accordingly. Once established, they are hard to get rid off compared to bermuda and st augustine in partial shade condition like yours esp during terrible drought....See MoreHelp!!!! Not Sure What Happened?
Comments (18)This last and final one. This plant just had some yellowing of the caudex skin. That spot is a little soft. Bust other than that overall looks and feels good. This was the last seedling I decided to cut back. I'm almost positive that the last two are salvageable. It's the first three I'm really worried about. When I found them I was screaming mad. I'm surprised none of you saw the explosion from where you live. These are my first set of seedlings and it happened in a matter of three days. Oooh yeah and I had looked at them the night before. I guess just not close enough and it was dark and I was tired. But those are just excuses. Yeah I'm still kinda upset. I'm determined to recover as many as possible. I realized that if I can get them back it just adds an interesting character to the plant. My goal was 1 out of 10 when I got them. But I've done so well with them. I changed that goal to 10 of 10. I probably should add the first four were reported this past weekend and the last one was repotted the weekend before and I watered them yesterday after finding them due to the fact they were bone dry. Root rot really never crossed my mind since they were bone dry. Sorry for the multiple posts and thanks again for taking the time to read and reply to my posts....See MoreNot sure what the heck is happening to my azalea.
Comments (4)This makes perfect sense. The plant was likely very susceptible during that drought, and that killed the first branch. The continued summer stress likely allowed it to take out the second. I suppose the one thing that would make me think it's not this is that the branches, even the one that lost its leaves in their entirety, seems to still be green if you scratch it with your nail. I would have expected the branch itself to be dead as well. Is it worth leaving the branch on to see if it will come back or should I just assume the branch is in its last days and remove it before the disease can spread.? Hate to lose half the plant, but you have to do what you have to do....See More- 8 years ago
