Pachypodium baronii - yellow stem
Comments (2)To my understanding Pachies like sun , Full sun. I have had My P. lealii in FULL Central Texas sun and it has not blinked. They do like more water in this situation. I water it once maybe twice a week(when I remember). and it is quite happy. Not growing too fast but developing a nice fat caudex. The spaces between the leaf/branches are short. Too much growth between them is not wanted. I would spray it with some draconil to address fungal issues as a safeguard if it were my plant, knowing that it has been in the shade in a warm humid environment. Was your plant grown from a cutting or a seed? The Internet images show a caudex. I would give it more sun, But do it slowly. If it can handle sun on the western semi lowlands of Madagascar, it can handle it in Luisiana. There was mention that this Pachy likes a larger pot than other Pachy species. This info is coming from Wiki Here is a link that might be useful: Wiki info...See MoreTomatillos- bumbs on stems, yellowing of plant
Comments (17)Hi Jonathan, I don't know how to collect pollen- I'm a new gardener. There have been a few discussions about tomatillos fruiting this year- some say you need 2 plants, some say that you absolutely do not. Others say to shake the plant in the early morning to release the pollen. I don't know. I have 3 tomatillo plants. Only 1 is fruiting. They are all next to each other. I don't understand why other than I planted the one that is fruiting about 3-4 weeks later than the other 2 and maybe it missed the hot spell when it started to flower????? But, nothing on the others and they are 5ft tall and have been dropping blossoms all the way up the plant. I'm now top loaded with blossoms on these 2 but am not seeing really any husks forming. I have about 10 almost ripe on the 3rd and a few more forming. One thing to keep in mind- someone commented that they are a late fruiting plant. I have no idea but after dropping blossoms all of july- the 3rd is starting to catch. The plant that's fruiting is also smaller than the others. I will fertilize again with some bonemeal to see if that helps them set fruit- I don't need anymore green. If you can let me know how to collect pollen, I can try but have no idea what that entails....See MoreHelp! Why is my Adenium stem yellow?
Comments (3)Did you mean to ask ' why WAS my Adenium stem yellow?' as it looks perfectly normal to me? It's hard, growing new stems, no caudex or root rot, and it doesn't look yellow to me, anywhere! Don't worry, I'm sure it's fine. Gill...See MoreRoots or STEM Size
Comments (5)Hi a1an, " ...did try doing some annual seed germination one year. This is with those lights that those - mary jane- growers use. It was insane....I got a headache from entering the -grow room- setup as the lights were that intense. " Many of the marijuana growers use a mix of red and blue lights, because those are the parts of the spectrum that plants need. Plants are green because they don't need green light, and reflect it. The red and blue lights combine to create a hideous purple light. I definitely will not tolerate purple light for growing plants indoors, even though the plants may like it. I much prefer daylight white light, and my fluorescent tubes are a mix of cool white, warm white, and a few extra warm tubes that produce light very similar to incandescent bulb light -- kind of a yellow-orangish tint that gives plants a dose of red that they like and doesn't bother me because it is mixed with a lot of white light. " Still have like 3K in lights lying around....but it was more a one time experiment . It's too much -work- sowing indoors... " That's a lot money tied up in lights. I totally enjoy both outdoor growing and indoor growing. But I confess to being a little weird in that regard, because I actually get some enjoyment out of washing pots. That's sort of like enjoying washing dishes. But the indoor growing lets me continue my zinnia breeding indoors during the Winter. Zinnias grow fast, and I can get two generations of zinnias indoors in addition to two generations outdoors. So four generations of zinnias per year contributes to making some significant breeding progress. I have several zinnia flower forms that are not available commercially. This is an example. Click on the pic to see a larger version. Those petals are tubes, which changes the look of the flower. By making many crosses between my hybrids, I can rearrange genes to get new forms of zinnias. Recent advances in lighting technology have improved indoor gardening. However I am still using T8 fluorescent lights, because I have them. When I first started indoor growing in 2005, T8 lights were considered modern. But not anymore. However, they still work fine, partly because they are rated at 20,000 hours per tube and partly because I have learned to overdrive them to increase their brightness significantly.
