Did I just kill my Ming aralia?
Comments (13)If your plant was healthy when you repotted, it will have plenty of energy (especially at this time of the year) to push a new flush of growth, You have the right idea .... keep it barely moist & in the shade (outdoors if possible) and wait. It's probably transplant shock, possibly made worse if you didn't take pains to keep the fine roots wet while you worked on them. Sunburn (photo-oxidation) is unlikely if you're only concerned about the amount of time in the sun during the repot, but if you're looking for symptoms - leaves turn silver or whitish - never red. The sun releases a free O- radical (the same one that is so loosely attached in hydrogen peroxide) which bleaches (oxidizes) the pigments in the leaf so they turn silver/white. It can't turn leaves red. Al...See MoreDid I just kill my semps?
Comments (21)Nancy, I meant the guy in the green pot. He looks more white than brown. I have no idea how he died. I didnt water before. Its in my balcony so at the very most a few flakes fell on the semps, which is not enough to kill. Thanks everyone for the response. It really sucks this had to happen. Exactly a year ago, I got them from a nursery and they were all pups, no roots either. Some grew exponentially, as seen in the pots. This really sucks, I guess during spring Ill be replacing them with whatever other semps I have. Mealy bugs killed almost all of my succulents I had in a very large container. I noticed it when I brought the container in. Every leaf I touched just fell. It was all hidden under the foliage. I worked really hard, sprayed alcohol, soap and insecticide but it was too late. Just about everything died and shriveled away....See Moredid i just kill my sage? should i wait to move it now?
Comments (3)What zone you are in? Are the plants dormant now? I'm not a sage expert but in general... When you move a plant, digging it up causes loss of root mass. This means the plant has a more difficult time taking up water. Frequently plants wilt under this condition. Relatively speaking, a small number of roots cannot take up enough water to support a large number of leaves. When this happens, it helps the plant by pruning it back after the move, equalizing root mass and leaf mass. I've done this before and the plant stopped wilting and recovered. The next year it was full and looked great. So based on that, it may actually be easier on the plants to move them now before there is a large number of leaves. You shouldn't have a problem with wilting. Just my opinion....See MoreDid I just kill my tomato plant while transplanting? Newbie here
Comments (6)Tomatoes are virtually impossible to kill once they're going. Seriously, as long as you've got a couple inches of green, you can regrow the entire plant. If its got any roots left at all, it'll be fine in a few weeks. Last year I had a windstorm that knocked one of my container tomatoes over, rolled it around, snapped half the thing in two. I just stuck the broken limbs in some dirt in a bucket, and not only did the limbs survive, they went on to bear fruit the same year. Heck, several of the limbs had tomatoes still on them and not only did they survive, not only did the tomatoes not wither up on them, but they were even GOOD tasting tomatoes at the end. Basically, nothing short of weed killer or ripping it up by the roots and tossing it on hot asphalt will kill a tomato plant....See MoreUser
