Adenium leaf burn help...
Comments (0)Recently I over added some liquid fertilizer to a few of my Adenium plants i have, about 6-8 months old. over the course of the next few days I got some burn marks on my leaves. Usually when this happens I just let the leaves grow out. Not all the leaves burned just one or two on each plant. I decided I didn't want to look at the burn marks anymore and this evening I took the leaves off. I do this all the time with my house plants. (even though I am overwintering my adeniums inside under LEDs I don't consider them a house plant, I guess this would depend on where you live though.) My question is, will taking off those leaves cause shock to my plants or do you think it's fine and that it wont affect the growth that much? These are my adeniums arabicums I have in soil medium. The over fertilization didn't affect my seedlings or my A. somalense tanzanias, even though they drank from the same bottle. Maybe this is because they are in a faster stage of growth? I really want to see my plants get big like the ones I see on this forum. I have a lot of adeniums now. My oldest are in the 6-8 month old range. Which is why I felt so compelled to give them nutes. I want big mature plants like the ones you all have! My hydro ones are doing amazing though. Just added some nutes with a zero nitrogen and more P-K to their reservoir and they've been looking amazing since this morning!...See MoreAdenium won't leaf out
Comments (5)Cactus soil and potting mix combo makes me at tad suspicious when used outside in a zone 7 summer...despite you saying others don't have problems. Commercial cactus mixes are often very much the same as regular potting mix, in other words they don't do what you expect them to in promoting fast drainage. As asked, please do add some part of your country/state/plant zone after your name via your homepage as we can't give best advise without. Also need some more answers to the questions raised above, and that all important pic! :-) Gill...See MoreAdenium 99.1 Obesum Super Yellow Maple Leaf from KO
Comments (6)No Sand.....I use co-co coir mixed with perlite for seeds and cactus soil with perlite when I re-pot them to larger pots or separate from their communal pots. I also sprinkle a very small amount of vermiculite on top of all the plants I grow inside the home to keep the gnats away. That could be what you see. It also keeps the perlite from floating. When germinating the seeds, I mist/spray with chamomile tea, seems to work.....I hardly see any gnats around. Happy Gardening, Jeannie :)...See MoreToo much Sun?
Comments (4)Isde and your notion are correct, Jeannie. They blanche in too much sun. Too much white, less green is not good for the plant's overall health. Plants need green chlorophyll for photosynthesis. Bright shade means outdoors. Morning sun is great because it's not scalding hot. Just don't do all day, direct sunlight. I love the variegated leaves on your plants. They should do well where they are now and will be stunning once they bloom. My beautiful variegated plant almost died when I moved it ... I was worried about it being so white. It went completely green then rotted at the roots. I don't know why. Fortunately, it survived cutting off half the caudex as a seedling. It was painfully slow going and I almost tossed it a few times, but it now has 4 leaves. It's staying where it is! This was the seedling ... It's still the same size a year later: Maria Elena...See More- 7 years ago
