New phal leaves lead to wilt & rot of old leaves?
Comments (3)1. Don't fertilize til you're confident that they're healthy again. Fertilizing a plant when there's a problem just compounds the stress on it. 2. if a rot is fast, it's bacterial. Fungal rots are slower. 3. Mush is always bad, and can spread. You should always cut mush off by cutting into the healthy tissue nearby. If a whole leaf is mushy, take off the whole leaf. Dust the stem of the plant where the leaf was attached with cinnamon. 4. I always cut off yellow leaves, if for no other reason than that way I can tell if it's new yellow or the same old yesterday yellow. 5. Cinnamon is a good contact anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, (and dessicant) so it's beneficial to dust a cut or problem spot with it. 6. Your assertion in the title suggesting the new leaf somehow caused this is dead wrong. Getting a new leaf is not what caused this. Rots can move amazingly fast, and they can be started by sunburn, tho often sunburn just makes a dark or white spot on leaves. I've had all three from sunburn. I have no way of knowing whether sun is what caused this, but it's possible. Because rots can move so fast-- I've seen them destroy a plant in just a day or so. Because they move so fast, always act immediately when you see *any*-- even a speck. No way to be sure what caused this problem. There are always several causes that produce the same effects. Why diagnosis is difficult and time consuming. I would definitely repot. Phals respond positively to a repot with new growth for the next three months. Also, you get a good chance to find out what's going on with the roots. Be sure to repot into a pot only a little bigger than the roots. Use a light hand when repotting. If you are using bark as a medium, soak the plant pot and all in tepid water for about 20' before hand to soften the roots for less damage to them. This time of year, the angle of the sun changes, and places that didn't receive direct sun suddenly do. That can create burns on a plant. The only way of knowing if a place is too hot, is touching the leaves while the sun is on them-- if cool to barely warm, ok. If warm be cautious. If hot, they are definitely burning. Cool them quickly with cool water....See MoreBlack Spots On Bell Pepper Leaves
Comments (4)Hey there, Sorry for the late late response, cant seem to figure out how to get the email alerts for replies to my messages...Hmmmm....I just upload my images to the site "Photobucket.com" and post the link for people to copy n paste into their address bar =/ works unless there are tons of photos to post, lol. I did the same and they're turning out alright, glad you figured it out too! Only problem are the slugs n snails, and the chickens, but thats a whole other story... I just got done spreading chili pepper powder around my few tomato plants to keep the slugs n snails off of them, seems to have worked so far, but its going to be a constant battle Im sure. Between killing them myself, all the toads and chickens around here(they both love the slugs), and the chili powder, I think I have them beat..for now. I grow pretty much anything I can find actually! I have some venus flytraps, the tomatoes, strawberries, a small bonsai or two, a bunch of shell and vertical ginger, 3 or 4 kinds of cannas(Indian Shot(red orange and yellow versions) and large Canna Lillies, Cooks Pine, hibiscus of all kinds, trying to find more contantly, working on different color plumeria trimmings, mountain apples, a few different ferns(Staghorns, Luau, working on Tree ferns, etc.) heliconia of all kinds, have the red and yellow hanging, a few vertical species, pink, orange, etc. Im pretty much just gathering all that I can, lol! We have yardsales up here in the wailua homesteads, and I put the plants out all the time, in the last 6 weeks Ive made about 180 or so in plants alone XD People really like the ginger and stuff, I put good plants out super cheap, do it mostly just to fund my gathering, lol. Im working on Tahitian Jasmine and Gardenia cuttings right now, have about 10 or so of each, and will be trading some with the neighbor for some various rose cuttings. Constantly gathering orchids, though I only have about 4 kinds, could get expensive if I decide to go all out =p If you're on Kauai n are interested in any of it, lemme know either on here or email me, and we can do some trades or something, take it light til I talk to ya next! Aloha, ~Dave P.S. If anyone reads this, Im looking for the following plants, trimmings/rhizomes preferred if not an already started one; Puakenikeni, ANY Heliconia or Cannas, Wild Plantain, any color, have yet to obtain some! and pretty much any other interesting plants, lemme know what you have and Ill let ya know what I currently have, we can throw up a trade or Ill just buy a few trimmings if not crazy expensive! =p Mahalo!...See MoreAnnabelle hydrangea-- black leaves, wilting (pics)
Comments (3)It resembles what happens to the leaves in the Fall when cold weather arrives and kills the leaves. So, yes, a late frost may have damaged them. If so, it would have damaged the leaves in old/new growth. But "only once". Meaning the new leaves would have been zapped, the plant would create replacement leaves but these replacement leaves should n-o-t turn black. If the replacement new leaves also turn black, something else is afoot. Hopefully this will not affect flowering but it might if stems also turn brown and stuff like that. Since this is just how the leaves look now and since you can monitor how the leaves blacken/change better than us, I will also give you a link containing information about various fungal diseases. Of interest, the article talks about Anthracnose, a fungal infection common in wholesaler facilities (you can get it by simply buying their infected stock). This disease produces dark lesions in the leaves. The lesions can appear dark brown, black, etc and both leaves and flowers can be infected. Of course, it is hard to tell if flowers are affected if you do not have any flowers yet, hu? Oh well. Hopefully this is not what you have (knock on wood) but review the information given, compare it to what you see and determine whether if any applies. http://www.aces.edu/pubs/docs/A/ANR-1212/index2.tmpl...See MoreBlack spots on begonia leaves - bacterial?

Comments (27)I am thrilled to report that my red-leafed rex is doing fabulously well now! After several months of relatively slow growth, I moved it a lot closer to the window, and here's how it looks now. Maybe a month ago, I moved it back from the prime windowsill spot so other plants can have a turn in the brighter spot, but I think it would like to be closer again, it keeps turning the leaves to face the light, so I spun it a little for the sake of a better photo :D. I thought they were lower-light plants, but this one and the silver one really seem to like being right up in the south-facing windows. I am kind of shocked at how broadly it spreads out - those are my feet at the edge of the picture, it's a big plant!! Unfortunately, I nearly killed the silver one over the same time - I had a really hard time getting the watering right, so was alternating between drought and overwatering, but it is coming back now, so in a few more months, if I'm careful, it ought to have filled out nicely. I have not had any return of the black leaf spot problems, or leaf edges dying, since early last year....See Moreshadyabs abbas
