I wouldn't fertilize now either. I agree rooting in spring has its benefits, but since you're trying to save the leaf at this time, you can't hold off till spring.. Like Rjm stated, diving the leaf is one way to root. Actually, I've seen pics of how rooting Sans is done..One leaf is cut into 2-3" pieces, set upright/angle in well-draining soil. The problem is, since your leaf is yellow, which normally happens when Sans are over or underwatered, this leaf may not root..When rooting, heatlhy foliage is recommeded..Neither the oldest nor youngest leaves are advised. I'm not saying your leaf is unhealthy, since it's still firm (no rot, right?) So, it might have a chance of survival with some work. It's also a good experiment. I wouldn't use the entire leaf to root. You've a better chance at success cutting into pieces. If you decide to go this route, there's no need for plastic (humidity) In fact, you want the soil to dry out to a degree, adding plstic will keep soil too wet. The best container is a small, shallow dish/tray. Set cuttings a few inches apart. Place tray in medium light (no direct sun) If you use Superthrive Hormone and Vitamins, add a small amount once a month..If you don't have/use Superthrive, perhaps a light dose of Fish Emulsion will help..a very light dose. Good luck, Toni

Looks like a magnesium deficiency if they are all on the lower leaves. Young tomato plants often show deficiencies, so may not be an issue. There can be several causes, and maybe more. You'll have to determine why. 1. Fertilizer that lacks magnesium such as Miracle Gro, if you are using an inert medium. Epsom salts or dolomite lime might help depending on pH. 2. pH problems. High pH especially will lock out magnesium. High water pH can cause this. 3. Calcium/magnesium imbalance. Too much calcium can lock out magnesium. Hard water can also cause this. 4. Overwatering can cause uptake issues. 5. Over fertilization can cause lockout of magnesium.

I am delighted to announce that both the original aspidistra plant and the offshoot I planted in a different pot are exhibiting new growth. For the record, I put them in a north facing window where they receive light but not direct light, give them one cup of water every 12-13 days, and left them alone. It seems July is the growing season for these plants, because it is also around this time last year that they put out new leaves. As for your yellowing Sans2014, I'm not sure what's causing it but I did find a pretty good site here where they may answer your question: http://www.ourhouseplants.com/plants/aspidistra From reading that site, it seems your problem could be caused by too cold temps (unlikely in July), too frequent repotting, or most likely overwatering. I water mine every 12-13 days and this is in July in Las Vegas, where temps in my apartment can reach 90 if i turn the A/C off before going to work. If you leave in a cooler climate, I wouldn't water it more than every two weeks, maybe even less.

You can repot when ever you want now.. 5.1.1 or something comprable is perfect... Nothing on the bottom since it only takes up real estate for roots to grow Temps above 50 will encourage growth while weather below 50 at night is just fine but slows growth and nutrient uptake. If you have juts done a repot, fertilize in a couple of weeks.. If you are using a well draining mix and the plant is established, fertilize weekly every time you water. If using a mix so so, fertilize weekly..Use full strentgh when growth is best. Foliage Pro is great. You plant has gone through an environmental change and leaf drop is common, even slow down of water intake..Watch your soil carefully to make sure the plants really needs water as needed until it start actively growing again. As Lime says, it is a beauty.
