What’s happening to my Jade plant?
Comments (3)It could be mold - powdery mildew. Bathrooms are humid, and succulents are arid climate plants. Even if you have other plants not having same problem, it could be just question of time. There are other plants that would enjoy more humidity, but not succulents. Besides that, it is usually darker in bthrooms and succulents need lots of light. Looking at your photos, they are showing some etiolation. Leaves are growing too far apart because plants are not getting enough light....See MoreWhat’s happening to my Hydrangea?
Comments (5)Unless there is a soil test that indicates that something is missing, stop with the fertilizer. You can create issues with excess fertilizer, both in the garden and in the surface water and groundwater where the excess ends up. As an indication of how much fertilizer this plant needs, in my nutrient poor acid sandy loam soil, without any fertilizer ever, mine has done fine, blooming profusely and taking over as much territory as I will allow it. And regardless, you want to stop fertilizing in August so the plant stops putting out new growth for the year that might not have time to harden off before winter. Do you check to see how moist the soil is before watering? And how long do you water for or how much water do you give it? I would look at the underside of the leaves to see if there are insect pests, but other than quitting with the fertilizer and checking to see that you aren’t over- or under-watering, I would chalk it up to being late in the season, and as a new plant with less developed roots that gets a lot of sun, the leaves are a bit tired. Typically, this is planted where it gets some shade in the afternoon when sun and heat are particularly intense....See MoreWhat’s happening to my phaeleonopsis leaves?
Comments (4)You are in South Florida. I would suggest repotting now as Spring is starting. Find some small/medium bark. Soak it for a few hours to take up water. Add a little sphag moss to the mix and repot the plant. If you can put your plant outside, all the better. As the above poster asked, make sure the pot has drain holes. Orchids do not like wet conditions. They like air movement. Your plant might have some fungal issues going on now so repotting is important. You can remove the yellowing leaf. Your plant will start its growing cycle and grow new leaves. I'm in Sarasota and all my Phals are outside facing East. They love that exposure and are all blooming or spiking now. Please read about your plant it will help you along the way. How to grow Phals Jane...See MoreWhat’s happening to my tomato plant??
Comments (0)Any idea what’s going on here? It had a few spots a couple days ago and I just assumed it was because of the sun (SoCal has been v hot lately). Today I came out to find multiple leaves like this. Anything I can do to stop it spreading? Does it look like just sun damage? Noob here, I’d appreciate some help!...See MoreKarenS, NYC
