Container oregano stems have bad damping off
Comments (6)Good news and bad news. Good news - it's not damping off. They just keel over and die, for your first hint of that disease. Bad news is, I've heard of the problem before, but don't remember the cause. On the other hand, given that damping-off kills plants instantly, chances are fairly good, you might get no other reply to this post, given its title. There simply is nothing anyone could tell you to do for that, so might not answer. You might want to wait to see if someone else can give you an answer, or, you might want to reposts giving the symptom, instead. There is a third choice though. I'm almost positive you aren't the first person to ask about white fuzzy stuff on a plant, so if you do a search, you can probably get an instant answer. Sorry, I can't answer your question. So far, no white fuzzy stuff on any of my plants....See MoreIs this damping off? Last post for a while I promise.
Comments (4)Hard to tell by the pics. If they look like they're slowly dying, then maybe. Tricks for damping off-- Air circulation -- maybe set up a small fan Bottom water --- set packs in a tub of water that has about an inch or so of water for about 15 minutes when watering Don't over water -- let top of soil dry out before watering(more people kill seedlings from over watering than under watering 3% hydrogen peroxide -- spray the soil surface Chamomile tea -- drink a cup, and then use the used tea bag to make another cup -- spray on soil cinnamon -- sprinkle a little on soil...this helps keep the fungus gnats away. Don't get discouraged. I had quite a bout with damping off and peppers. Keep asking questions. It's the cheapest way to learn. Kevin By the way -- you learned already. Keep the shoplights about that distance from the top of the plants. Just right above them without touching. :)...See MorePossible disease in carots/fennel/dill?
Comments (2)hate to make excuses and back out, but don't have decent camera and don't want to take time to borrow/fiddle with software for this issue. Thanks, though....See MoreUsing a fan to control Damping Off Disease? Temperature affected?
Comments (9)You just had to say it! I have already elevated my seedlings toward the light using plastic glasses! So what I am gonna do is set the fan with the light timer, so the seedlings will get air circulation during the day. I also could not stand the sound of the fan while I am sleeping, and definitely my sleep is more important than my seedlings ahah! That means the fan will be turned off during the night no matter what. Thanks!...See MoreLabradors
