Broken side shoot, tree philodendron
Comments (21)now i just air-layer the tip in moist long fiber sphag: the aerial roots near the tip are still white or i see little white root nubs. these grow very fast if wrapped in cling wrap with moist sphag. it needs to stay moist. a couple of weeks (at most 1 month if in winter) and i can pop the tip off. this way i do not loose the leaves. i lay it on the side to let the cut dry up and callous with roots still wrapped in sphag for a week or so. then it can be potted. i dust the cut with fungiside and wrap it with a bit of coir to keep direct contact with moist soil: it can still mildew otherwise. sometimes i lay it in shallow tub with mix with the tip sticking out sideways dry in the air. and grow it it like that until established. then i plant it vertically....See MoreNepenthes going brown
Comments (13)That doesn't look good at all... If it got to cold that could have damaged the leaves bad enough to cause them to brown & die + moving it??? Neps really don't like dramatic changes... Like you can't just take ones that are growing indoors & move them outdoors / The change in sun/light will burn them / Might not kill them, but they will drop their leaves... One of those things that has to be done slowly... + There will be times of year when they wont look their best unless they're in a controlled environment... I grow mine outdoors (just finally broke down & got a greenhouse for them) & most of them look like %#!* this time of year, but they always bounce right back in the spring... After a while they seem to acclimate pretty good even if conditions aren't perfect / But once you change things on them it's like starting all over again... Hate to say it, but bust out the scissors... I'd say your best bet is to cut off all the dead/brown & dying leaves / Should help promote new growth / Basal shoots... Leave the top growing tips on the main steams if they still look alive, if not cut them too & hope for the best... You're going to end up with a bald plant / Just bare steams sticking up, but if the plant isn't totally dead it should start growing some new sprouts... Might also try using a little diluted fertiliser (with maybe some SuperThrive & B1)... Keep the humidity up / Use a plastic bag or something if you have to... Don't keep the soil to wet / Defiantly keep it moist / But a bit on the drier side so it doesn't rot... Other then that I don't know what else to recommend other then keeping your fingers crossed... Sounds harsh, but at this piont... But Don't Give Up Hope / I've Had Some Sad Looking Neps Bounce Back... Good Luck With It & Hope It Makes It, Eric...See MoreTree Peony Turning Brown
Comments (12)Debbie I don't think your tree peony can stand the hot sun for the next two months. If you cannot move it now drive four three inch wooden posts, ask for 'peelers' at Home Depot or Lowes and then staple 50% shade cloth over the plant. Tree peonies where you live can stand morning sun OK. Your herbaceous peonies like full sun about the same as most roses, with regular summer water. Peonies maintain their good looks after the bloom all the way through November for you and I. When the foliage(on herbaceous peonies)yellows about the first of December cut the stems down to about 4 inches. The stubs of stems left will protect the new buds forming for next years stems and flowers. These buds should be visible during the winter to get enough chilling for your peonies to bloom next year. Growing peonies successfully requires patience, especially in a marginal climate. Al...See MoreCan I share? Updates...
Comments (46)kamkar--The flooring we are using is by Mohawk, the color is Saddlebrook. I was a bit disappointed when making our selections for this house. I had in my mind a dark espresso floor. That would have been available if we chose an engineered floor that was a lot more expensive. So I picked the darkest of the 4 choices I was given with this floor. I am very happy with it. I think the espresso color may go out of style before we are ready to leave this home and this floor seems pretty traditional to me. Hope this helps.
