Can Anyone Tell Me Whats Wrong w/ My Plants?
Comments (7)hi & thank you both for your responses. i do not own a cat so thats ruled out. I have other plants that are planted in an organic soil type thing which on the bag states is a mix of "compost bark, sphagnum peat moss, pasteurized poultry litter, and an organic wetting agent" that are doing quite well. do you think i should replant these 2 in this type of soil? the room my plants are in is approx 16x18 and the only source of natural light is through my sliding patio doors. the room temp is at a constant 65 degrees Fahrenheit. i dont know what could be causing those burn marks on the leaves of my janet craig, its kept in a low lighted corner. the pot that the pachira is in is 7"tall x 6"diameter, the tree itself is 13.5" tall from the soil line to the top most leaf....See MoreCan anyone tell me what kind of tree this is?

Comments (8)This one is a beaut! We live in East Mesa and have five (5) in our front/side yard. Yes they are beautiful when in bloom. Yes, they are beautiful even when not in bloom with their shiny green leaves. However, they are known to attract silk worms. For the past two (2) late spring/summer seasons, all five of mine were completely infested. In so much as, they all looked like a giant web was spun over each. Cut a branch off with the critters still attached, put it in a zip lock, took it to A&P Nursery on Brown Road and the staff there immediately knew what the branch was from and confirmed what the critters were, and sent me on my way with the appropriate treatment plan. This year, they are good as new. Just keeping a watchful eye out for the silk worms....See MoreCan anyone tell me what's wrong with my fig tree?
Comments (5)It is hard to tell them apart. Because you said that the leaves looked OK earlier it is most likely mites. FMV will often show early in the season and then get better, while mites cause more symptoms as the season progresses and their population increases. They are the vector of FMV so be careful to not spread them from tree to tree on your hands and clothes. It seems like Avid is natural but not organic for some reason. Be careful to not get in your eyes or on your skin, read the label, get very good coverage- inside to outside, bottom to top....See MoreCan anyone tell me what's wrong with my rubber tree?
Comments (4)It’s normal to lose some of the lower leaves - they age out, or they get shaded out and the plant sheds them as they no longer do enough photosynthesis. Usually the rate of loss is less than the rate of replacement by new leaves but it sounds like you’re losing more than that. Maybe watering every three weeks is not enough, you may be stressing your plant too much. Of course it depends on the plant the soil the season the pot size etc etc, but my one dries down in 7-10 days and then I water it thoroughly and drain it well. Then wait again to dry down, as judged by the weight of the pot and/or whether a skewer inserted down to the bottom shows moisture. Read up on soils and watering on this forum, I think that’ll help. Don’t think it’s a disease. Could be rootbound though, looks a small pot for its size. Which will make it go through water faster too. I agree give it bright light....See Morebuyorsell888
