What’s wrong with my aloe plant? Please help
Comments (13)I also questioned size of pot in my original post, but didn't say that you should use smaller one. Karen is right. If you find that plan is tipping pt over, you can place a larger rock or 2 on top of the mix. I use large rocks to support newly repotted plants, but they can be good counterweights too. Or use pot that is not so deep but wider at the base, so it is more stable. Terracotta/clay pots are also more stable, because they are heavy. I use mostly plastic for that reason. I also mentioned that I would cut of leaves that are mushy - didn't say that you should since I really can't see the mushines in your photo. I keep succulents in smaller pots. Not because "they like it" as some ppl suggest, but for lack of space. If plant gets too big, I rather divide it and give away some. The reason I do not grow Aloe vera - it's leaves grow quite long... I know that pp used put some rocks or pieces of broken terracotta pots over drainage hole to prevent mix from falling out. Use piece of window screen or any other mesh with small openings. Or even piece of landscape fabric (it lets water thru), or coffee filter. Even piece of newspaper will work, but it will decompose....See MoreWhat’s wrong with my Podocarpus?

Comments (2)I've often left these 2 explanations on this forum about questions that come up about the 2 following features of Ficus leaf anatomy. Ficus Anatomy Foliar glands in the inferior leaf surface at the leaf to petiole (leaf stem) transition are a normal part of Ficus anatomy, and so far, their purpose is not fully understood. They used to be referred to as 'wax' glands, and occur in a high % of the plants in the Moraceae family, including mulberry. Newer literature refers to the gland as a phenolic gland, because of the heavy deposits of phenolic compounds in the glandular region. Any exudates (oozings) that originate in the near vicinity of the gland are probably latex or residuals from same and not related to the gland itself. Ficus leaves often have other semi-regularly spaced white dots, which vary in salience, inside and roughly parallel to leaf margins and often misidentified as pests or glands. They are lithocysts, enlarged cells that contain crystals of calcium carbonate or calcium oxylate called cystoliths, and are another normal part of Ficus anatomy.

Comments (7)i cant tell if you fert your lawn ... but generally ..... an established tree does not usually need any more fert than what its roots under the lawn can provide ... that said.. production citrus is way out of my ballpark .... and i wouldnt be surprised if it needed constant juicing to perform to expectations... see what i did there.. lol ... find your COUNTY Ag or extension office... it would be beyond belief.. that they cant help you with citrus growing in FL ... dont you think ... they might recommend you start with a soil test.. as a starting point to a fertilizer regimen ... ken ps: i you previously had a bug issue.. and solved it ... you do not have to treat for said problem for the rest of the trees life ... and it is highly recommended that you only treat when you actually find something to treat ... lets hope here.. all your problems are nutrient related ......See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
