Aloe plant turning brown but green and firm at base
Comments (4)It's not too much water. When aloe is used to being indoors, sudden exposure to direct sunlight will make it scorch. This leaves the leaves (pun!) turning red. I don't know why, or the chemistry behind it. Usually one day will only make the aloe reddish brown. The leaves will also loose it's rigid texture for a while. If you remove from direct sunlight before it's too late, the plants will regenerate and be greener than ever in 'bout 3-5 days. If you are too late, their consistency will remain like gelatin filled spikes, and very "oozy". They will also retain their brownish color, and slowly....DIE. Don't think this phenomenon is only for succulents. All plants will require a "hardening" period before transplanting them outside. Leave your aloes in partial shade or have a stand that will stop sunlight directly above, but allow light when the sun is lower in the sky. Aloes should adapt, because it's their nature to be in direct sunlight. I know because I would always transplant my aloes outside, and wonder why the heck they would always die....See MoreBuds starting to turn brown at the base and dying?
Comments (0)Well,I decided I was going to use TWO lilies for breeding purposes,I thought 'Salmon Classic' and 'couplet' would make favorable results. So i've been letting one flower wilt(I hand pollinated the blooms btw)on 'Salmon Classic' and now the rest of the unopened buds are starting to die off. It's not happening with ANY of my other lilies,just that one.Well,that's the only one with unopened buds,but i wanna know what's up with this?...See MoreHaworthia is turning brown/black and drying up
Comments (5)It's most likely rotting from the stem from being too moist in a low light situation (office). The soil also looks quite damp at the surface despite the rock dressing. You could pull it out of the pot, rinse off the soil, and cut away any rotten tissue until you find healthy green tissue, let the cuts callous for a week, apply rooting hormone, and try to reroot it by setting the new base just beneath the soil. Withhold watering and only mist lightly every other day for about a month in bright natural light (or strong artificial light). In that size of pot for that plant, you would need very well drained soil and to water (thoroughly) only occasionally (every 2 weeks in partial sun conditions). It's a cute haworthia, one I've been keeping an eye out for. Good luck with her. I completely understand the desire for plants in an office. As for good office plants, pothos and zamioculca are pretty solid choices. Cacti and succulents rarely ever survive that condition....See MoreHaworthia appears to be turning pinkish
Comments (4)I don't grow haws so can't give specific advise, but, I can advise on containers. That one is glass, correct? Has it got any holes in the base, I doubt it? Even if your soil mix is free draining there must be somewhere for it to drain out of. What is in the mix under the stone topping? Glass is never recommended on here, or anywhere else really, for any plant, (except for stores that sell plants in them and expect them to survive!) as a substitute for terracotta/plastic or similar. They have several disadvantages, lack of holes, and a capability of frying the roots are two such issues. Gill...See MoreRelated Professionals
