Comments (2)Cuban laurel thrips. They're specific to only certain Ficus species. They don't kill the plant. But, because they attack only the new leaves, they make the tree look nasty from time to time. Some folks cope by lightly shearing the plant when the damage occurs, then discarding the clippings. Here's info from U of FL http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/orn/thrips/cuban_laurel_thrips.htm Here is a link that might be useful: Cuban laurel thrips...See MoreHelp identifying cause of spots on Ficus Lyrata?
Comments (0)I have had a lyrata for about seven months. Every time a new leaf grows, there are small brown spots on it from the very start of its growth. What could be the cause of this? The lyrata is in a room that receives bright, indirect light. I water when I stick my finger in the soil and it's dried out a bit. About a month ago, two new leaves were starting to come in, and they shriveled and fell off. There are two more new leaves that came in after that that seem to be doing better. I haven't fertilized it since I brought it home and was postponing that until I figured out what the spots were....See MorePlease help me identify why my citrus leaves are yellowing
Comments (9)I took the leap of faith today and pulled it out of the container. It looks like it was very root bound and therefore nutrient uptake was limited. I had no choice but to gently loosen up the roots and re-pot in a 2 gallon. I am in Canada in the middle of winter but I think my plant thinks it is spring based on the artificial light and flowering. Hopefully it doesn't stress it out and cause flower/leaf drop. I trimmed off maybe 10 leaves off. Do you guys think its a good idea to take more off? I will just water with the water + vinegar for the next month or so. Then I will switch to Miracle-Gro All Purpose 24-8-16 + vinegar which is closer to what you guys recommend. Thanks all!...See Moregardengal48 (PNW Z8/9)
