Help! Tomato & Pepper leaves are yellowing/browning!
Comments (5)I would think the plants should have taken hold in three weeks. Assuming you see no insect pests and the plants are getting sufficient water, I guess it could be draining too fast and taking nutirents with it. I have seen that happen with really sandy soil but why aren't the beans and cukes affected. Maybe the problem is that my experience is with the dirt that came with my house and I know squat about licorice root. You might try to get some nitrogen to the plants with the recipe you mentioned or some water soluable Miracle Grow....See MoreHelp my bell peppers are yellowing and dying!
Comments (2)Hmmmm... just an offhand guess, but I would say some sort of disease. I do not believe it is a watering or nutrient problem because there is no clear pattern to the dying leaves and I do not believe it's an insect problem for the same reason. I would recommend removing the damaged leaves immediately and leaving the rest of the plant. Much of the time diseased plants do just fine if the disease pressure is controlled (removing affected leaves). Perhaps someone else has seen the same thing and knows what the affliction is, but if it were me I would start off by getting the affected leaves away from the plant....See Morehelp! my pepper plants are losing leaves and dying
Comments (4)where are you why is the greenhouse not open ... that it traps so much heat .. and why do you need so much humidity???? .. are you winging it here.. or is there some theory behind all this ... do you figure rotting grass adds to the heat build up as it decomposes... plus the gasses it gives off ... it is not uncommon.. in late august.. for plants to lose their oldest .. first.. leaves ... and that would be normal .... ken...See MoreYellow splotches on tomatoes, shrinking production and dying leaves
Comments (5)Water: Its hot as said so watering is 2-3 days depending on the soil. Hose on low, depending on soil conditions, approximately 3-6 seconds. Pots: ( Original plant total = 10, current = 7) 1 plant in 4 pots: 24-inch diameter ( let branch out however it wants with little clipping) + 2 propagated basil plants in each pot ( 2 remaining plants out of 4) 3 plants in 2 pots: 18-inch x 8 inches long ( 5 remaining plants out of 6) Filled with: 1/2 inch thick bottom rocks or plastic mesh bottom. store bought vegetable specific soil 80% ( mixture of soil, sand, mulch, nutrients) and 20% native soil. Add slow release fertilizer and a few worms found in the yard when lucky all mixed in initial pot without plants.once a month add fast release fertilizer on top ( about 1-2 table spoons). Plants: Few days after preparing the soil and pots I add plants from propitiated stems or seedlings ( harvested seeds from California Italian tomatoes found at...Costco Japan haha). I also add a small propagated basil plant or two to the big pots. This is my third year doing this "style" and the first time with this issue(s). Current care: On all plants I have removed the yellowing/ golding spotted fruit. Current new fruit is small and the normal green. A few plants as a test have removed old leaves. Others i have left the same. All new growth is green with light yellowing on the leaves....See Moredaninthedirt (USDA 9a, HZ9, CentTX, Sunset z30, Cfa)
