Dendrobium woes - need some help with yellowing leaf tips
Comments (12)Calvin, on second thought, maybe you might have to do some precautionary, just-in-case hanging of yellow sticky traps against any thrips possibility...Thrips are nearly invisible to the naked eye and they don't! leave black droppings... I think that what you described as your thrips infestation 2 years ago was a type of aphid called citrus blackfly...They leave behind casings of very tiny brittle black crustings and white patches and yes! they are also from Asia in origin so if you have Asian orchids, you could have gotten that infestation... Thrips damage on lilies and roses look exactly like yours...They leave bright yellow markings almost always at the bottom of the leaf and spread upward (who knows why they like this configuration of eating) that turn to brown...Thrips damage look like "burns". My lily buds and leaves looked exactly like your photos. Huge spreading patches of brown. You can try what others suggested, but might as well hang a few yellow sticky traps just in case. P.S. on an unrelated topic, if any one of you orchid people are using a pesticide called Sevin, don't! Sevin is highly toxic to bees and will wipe out entire bee colonies because it is a poison that is carried out to the hive. Sevin is outlawed in Europe, but sadly is the 3rd most popular insecticide in the U.S....See MoreSeedlings are yellowing--need some help ; (
Comments (4)What kind of containers are you using and how dense is the planting? How do you water? What is the temperature in the room? I grow under lights and have not had problems with damping off (knock on wood - I'm afraid to even write that!). What you're doing sounds similar to what I do but these things may be different: I use Fafard Germinating Mix. I use plastic liners and plug trays, mostly 100 cell plugs and 72 liners, a few 200 cell plugs. If I re-use liners or plug trays I scrub them with bleach before reusing them. I bottom water everything. I don't top water anything until it is outside and hardened off. I fertilize with VERY dilute fish emulsion. Hope this helps, Kirk...See MoreNeed help with SW yellow paint color for new Tuscan home
Comments (28)wanted to run something else by the forum. this is the travertine color and pattern we are getting. should we go with a more neutral color like blonde so it doesn't compete with the color of the floor? or, would a warm color like harvester look ok? thanks...See MoreNeed help picking a paint color for these yellow curtains
Comments (7)I think it would really depend on what other type elements you have in your room and surrounding rooms (flooring, furniture, art, etc.) and what particular style or feel you are going for. Then, decide on what color(s) appeal to you. One of the easiest ways, as Brutuses mentioned, is to pull one from the drapery fabric and then have it color matched at the paint store. Also, if you have a particular color in mind, there are a ton of talented folks here who could help you choose just the right one. Do you have more pictures of the room and surrounding areas where the drapes will be hung? That will help tremendously if you want help here....See Morejuddgirl2
