Wilting and dying leaves on seedlings...
Comments (8)The first post shows the cotyledon being affected and the same with the last photo - but these are the seeds itself and its suppose to drop off. If the true leaves are affected then you have a problem. The pea plant = looks like it's been affected because there was a period it didn't get any water and then suddenly watered. A case of inconsistent watering. Was that the case? The one thing you should watch for is a fungus called DAMP. It kills suddenly. the entire plant just dies out. Once a plant is afected, throw it out before it infects the others.there's some anti damp treatments available at garden centres. However once this thing takes hold, it's very difficult to manage. Best to throw out affected plants and to treat unaffected plants. Do not over water the plants. Also keep your plants well ventilated using a fan (gentle cycle). I usually add a little layer of sand on top to prevent these things from happening....See MoreLeaves on tomato seedlings dying
Comments (8)Okay, I'll stop putting them out for awhile. Is there anything else I can do to help them recover? Sorry but I don't think you understand what we are saying. You cannot radically change the environment of a plant without damage. The damage is done now since they weren't hardened off first so you might as well leave them out. The damaged parts will die and fall off but the new growth will slowly replace it and should be ok . Taking them back inside only to move them back out side later on will only reverse the progress made and then cause more damage. Plants need to be very gradually - over a period of 7-10 days - exposed to the the outside when they have been grown indoors. This is called Hardening Off and there are FAQs here as well as lots of internet info about it.. They never go from inside directly into the bright sun. Rather they go in slow steps from inside out into the world. First to sheltered shade like a screen porch or under a deck, then into shade protected from wind and high temps, then into light sun for a few hours, and gradually over several days into more and more sun for longer periods. And once they start out they don't go back indoors again except briefly in the case of severe storms or such. Dave...See MoreKale seedling leaves dying on true leaves emergence
Comments (0)My seedling leaves are wilting like in the photo above. I am growing in Kale in Rockwool. I have an adjusted the EC to be 1.0 and pH to be 6.2. Temp. of solution in 25C or 77 F. Air Temp. is also 25 C or 77 F. Here's another photo. The true leaf seems to be healthy. Here is one where the seedling leaves are not wiling even after the true leaf has emerged. Could you please suggest what might be going wrong ? Thanks a lot in advance for your replies to my query....See MoreDahlia seedling leaves dying
