Can Anyone Tell Me Whats Wrong w/ My Plants?
Comments (7)hi & thank you both for your responses. i do not own a cat so thats ruled out. I have other plants that are planted in an organic soil type thing which on the bag states is a mix of "compost bark, sphagnum peat moss, pasteurized poultry litter, and an organic wetting agent" that are doing quite well. do you think i should replant these 2 in this type of soil? the room my plants are in is approx 16x18 and the only source of natural light is through my sliding patio doors. the room temp is at a constant 65 degrees Fahrenheit. i dont know what could be causing those burn marks on the leaves of my janet craig, its kept in a low lighted corner. the pot that the pachira is in is 7"tall x 6"diameter, the tree itself is 13.5" tall from the soil line to the top most leaf....See MoreCan anyone tell me what's wrong with my japanese maple?
Comments (4)I can't say that I have ever seen bark discoloration quite that pronounced :-) Typically one sees the reverse or the top portion of the branch - the part exposed to sunlight - scorching or discoloring. Having said that, there are a number of diseases that affect Japanese maples that can result in both branch/stem dieback as well as discoloration of the wood. Just unlikely to be so precise with that discoloration:-) The various maple pathogens can look remarkably alike, so an accurate diagnosis is best left to a plant pathologist. Some can be debilitating and damaging; others can be fatal and there is seldom an easy cure. Pruning out obviously dead wood is aways appropriate - just sterilize pruners after each cut....See MoreCan anyone tell me what might be wrong with my Loblolly Pine?
Comments (3)Without seeing it, I can't say! It could be so many things, even damage from the builders. (You said you live in a new house.) And there is Fusiform rust being found in loblolly pines. I think that you need to contact the Harris County Master Gardeners. They might have a suggestion, and it doesn't cost you anything....See MoreCan anyone tell me what's wrong with my succulent?
Comments (4)The plant at the top edge of the photo looks like it is struggling, too. Is that a Senecio? I'm not sure. Looks like they are all in a bark mulch or compost mix unless that is only a top dressing. The Kalanchoe and Portulacaria seem OK but the other two aren't happy. The soil mix probably needs to be less water retentive for those two plants. That might seem backwards however if a mix is too water retentive then the roots have problems and stop taking up moisture. Then the plant begins to look under watered even when the mix is kept moist....See MoreLydia Lydia
