Please Help! Don't know what iis wrong w/ my grass!
Comments (3)Sure looks like one of the fungal diseases. A lot of brown patch in the northeast this year due to all the rain and humidity. Not sure what it has been like where you live, but if it has been wet and humid where you live then it is highly likely. You can tell it is a fungus by how it looked throughout the disease cycle. I doubt it's cat pee, because cats generally dig a whole in the dirt and then pee in it, but anything is possible....See MoreHelp, I don't know what's wrong - first posting
Comments (5)Oooh, that's a great Aeonium. Many people, including me, would kill for such a nice, large specimen as that! And it does not look too poorly from here, with the exception of a couple things. Summertime is the time Aeoniums go dormant and most of the time want a major cutback on water, or to go basically dry with just a sip of water periodically. Summer is also when the rosettes ball up like yours are, which could be perceived as them sort of shriveling up. That is completely normal for this time of year. Full sun could be fine. I happen to do only part-sun with mine over the summer, to try to encourage them to wake up faster when fall comes and temperatures start dropping a bit. My conditions aren't ideal, so my plants are potted and I move them around in an attempt to please them at various times of the year. What isn't normal are the few branches that have flopped over. Where the branches have flopped, are they kind of mushy? If so, they're rotting, and you should remove them/perhaps cut them back to the main stem, to where the tissue is green and healthy inside. Also feel around the base of the stem for any mushy, rotting areas, and I would pray the root system is healthy and there isn't any rot going on below the soil line. My Aeoniums generally start waking up in the fall, and they do most of their growing through the winter and spring, until hot weather hits. Aeoniums are characterized as winter growers, which just means they don't like the heat much. If your summer doesn't get very hot, they can decide to not completely ball up and go entirely dormant, but instead only partially ball up and keep slowly growing through the season -- most of my Aeoniums went completely dormant this summer, but in the exact same conditions a couple of them didn't, and that's just a fluke. Aside from the few problem stems you have going there, I would hope it's one healthy plant. Just make sure you remove what has rotted so that the rot cannot spread. Don't let the balled-up look of the rosettes scare you. The leaves will open up and really start growing soon. Out of curiosity, I'd like to see a closer view of the plant. It has a look to it a bit like Aeonium balsamiferum, which I quite like. This post was edited by teatree on Sun, Aug 4, 13 at 19:55...See MoreI don't know what's wrong...
Comments (8)Well Linda, it appears I did have the dreaded tomato russet mite. Fortunately, it appears it was caught in time for a recovery. Thank you for your help. I followed a homemade insecticide recipe someone had posted on the forum that involved garlic, mineral oil, water & soap and it appears to have worked. I just put my second treatment on this morning to catch any mites I may have missed last week. We'll see how it continues....See MoreI don’t know what’s wrong with my aloe
Comments (4)Hello, what kind of soil did you use? Also in the future only repot when they are in the growing season. Aloe's like to be root bound and do not require a large pot. The larger the pot the more the soil retains water and can lead to root rot. I only water my Aloes about one time a month in winter, then every 2 weeks in summer. Aloes retain water very well in their leaves and need a lot less water than people think. I keep mine in a south facing window where it gets direct sun in morning. Sometimes their leaves will do weird things, but that doesn't necessarily mean something is wrong. Just be very careful with watering and only water it when the entire pot of soil is dry. You can never hurt it by under watering, but Aloes are prone to root rot with too much water. It doesn't look bad to me in the pictures, just give it some sun and let it dry put completely....See MoreMischievous Magpie (CO 5b)
