Follow up of cyclamen mites, photos of plants
Comments (3)This plant is quite underpotted and probably the soil got old. When it gets old, it gets acid and dense, so the amount of air goes down, amnount of water goes up. I would wash the old soil off to some extent and repot it. For me - it looks more like a culture issue. But what do I know - I am familiar with cyclamen mite damage - and it doesn't look like it. But there are broad mites and who knows what else. The idea is that the language of the plants is limited - and they react the same way to different negative things. Mites spread like a forest fire and the damage is seen real fast. If you have several plants touching - and they do not go to pot at the same time - it is not it.

Comments (3)Did I meet Lawrence and Daisy? I can't keep real names/screennames straight anyway. This is a wonderful semi-annual event and one of the best turnouts I've seen. I'm motivated to get ready for the Spring swap now myself! One word on the March Green Elephant- be prepared for rain, just in case..... Last year we got lucky with only overcast skies. Very nice to meet all the GWebbers I did see today. And Thanks to Mr. Erickson, I think, for the mystical worm tea. Works wonders!...See MoreFollow-up on Boston Area Spring Plant Swap
Comments (6)Sue, WS is the way to go. Yes the Calif. poppies are not as they where described by the seed Co. Pretty and I like them but was expecting the bright purple and real white as was described. Guess we shouldn't believe the descriptions that they give us. Have quite a few plants now that aren't blooming the color described. Wish they would be more honest with us though. My cosmos where really tall too, but todays storms have knocked them down and some stems have broken off. Saves me from a bit of pruning, so can't complain about that. Just wait till the fall, when it cools just a bit. They will take off like rockets and be the real star of the gardens till the frost gets them and you will have lots of seeds for trades and WS next year. Forgot to move my nasturtiums out of the full sun, so lost a few of them, but the rest are doing fine. My gazania are in a pot an just saw some buds on them. Strange leaves on them, have you noticed that if the leaves twist a bit they have a real "wrong side to them"? Greening, glad those vinca got in. I remember you originally said you wanted about 50 of them. Mine are blooming again. I complained last week that I missed seeing the lavender flowers on them and said to my daughter, "they must miss the car tires going over them." She went out and moved her car right over them out on the street then, drove over them again and came back. Low and behold, they are blooming again. Must be those car tires they need to bloom. No blooms on my 4 o'clocks either yet but are really large in pots. Moved them last week to be beside some roses and hibiscus because I saw some Jap beetles on them. Few holes in the 4 o'clock leaves but no more japanese beetles. I find the combo works every time. Still have poppies blooming including the calif. ones. Will be interested to see if these rebloom all summer. My yellow calif. ones have done this every year for the past 3 years. This is my first time with the other ones though. They make lots of seeds so watch for their pods. They look like long giant needles. Just wait till the pods are all brown and dry. Then take them off and let them finish drying inside and pop them open. The seeds are small but easy to get, not like regular poppies that have the tiny little things and some are like dust. Still have seedlings if anyone is interested and alot more iris for the digging and taking. Fran...See MoreFollow up on my Adenium from last week... still need advice.
Comments (4)Might just be a delayed reaction, might be something else. Did the withering start spontaneously or spread from the point they were cut? When you cut the branches, was the inside brown or a kind of pale cream color? My guess would be that they were also damaged but didn't show damage until now, or they succumbed recently. I'd wait to get a few other opinions, though. If it was brown inside, that might have been dead tissue, and if it isn't cut back to where you can't see anymore, it can spread. I would maybe consider taking a little slice off the end of one of the withered branches to check the damage inside. Still, you might want to wait for a second opinion before that....See MoreRelated Professionals
