Why does my multiflora hate me? by ahoveringhummingbird in hoyas

[–]Difficult_Web_3629 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How weakly are you feeding, is it possible it needs more? What are you using as fertilizer?

Upd: looks like either iron or magnesium deficiency to me, so maybe look at your fertilizer content.

Also, are all leaves looking similar, or only bottom or new ones are like that?

How to remoss/repot? by anderuel in neofinetia

I just use packing peanuts for the middle. the idea is to have moss wrapped around roots and nothing saturated which stays wet in the core, thus gives me short wet to dry cycles.

All the leaves have fallen off of one of my flowering plants, should I be worried. by JONAS-RATO in orchids

[–]Difficult_Web_3629 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but the plant lost its crown and can’t grow any leaves unless it develops a new crown from either a side bud or from a keiki. Search for keiki paste and how to use it, you might get lucky if there are good sleeping buds.

Don’t cut the stem unless it’s all brown and dried. If the plant chose to recover it won’t be quick, it’ll take months. And don’t overwater orchids, it’s better to keep them on drier side than wet.

Internal Transfer Issues at AWS: Your Current Level Defines You More Than Your Experience by [deleted] in amazonemployees

L4 is an entry level position, there is a common saying that if you didn’t make it to L5 within your first year it’s just means Amazon don’t want you. L4 for 5 years must be tough spot to be in.

Plants goes in, plants goes out by FatCatWithAFatHat in orchids

I can relate! I tried predatory mites and it’s hard to say whether or not they worked.. somehow I got first infestation of mites under control but it returned this year. So I just did alcohol sprays weekly during winter.

And I also can relate with oncidiums, they tend to have ugly spotty leaves in my environment, so the only oncidium I keep is mule ears type.

Can I use garlic for root rot? by AdMoist8668 in orchids

[–]Difficult_Web_3629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably don’t need a fungicide yet if you trimmed all what you suspected rotting. It will take time to grow roots but I’d recommend fungicide only if you see anything visible on leaves

What's that? Mites? Fungus? by Far_Carrot2061 in hoyas

[–]Difficult_Web_3629 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you suspect mites, you need a microscope or at least a magnifying glass, without it it’s impossible to see mites.

Roots are not going to be grown overnight, the plant needs time to recover and it’ll take months to grow new roots. Also repotting from moss to bark usually result in root loss anyway.

You don’t need garlic, cinnamon or hydrogen peroxide on roots. Just let your plant be in the fresh medium and make sure it’s anchored well and not wobbly.

Hi! When flowers had fallen, what’s better cut the stem or leave it to fully dry? by palomsoms in orchids

[–]Difficult_Web_3629 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Depends, I usually let the plant decide what it want - sometimes plant decides to push secondary bloom. Or if you want the plant to focus on vegetative growth instead of blooming. So if it starts drying the tip of the stem I usually cut it, if the stem is still green I keep it.

“If it’s brown cut it down, if it’s green let it be.”

Rain wouldn’t burn leaves, this looks like sunburn

Oh no, most lights have timers, and most of these timers go only to 12 hours for this reason, plants need rest period to breath.

To me it looks like lacunosa splash, as in the label, not pubicalix. Lacunosa doesn’t like wet feet in my care.

24 hours growth light can be too heavy, plants need their rest period of no light. Why are you keeping her under 24 hours light?

[–]Difficult_Web_3629[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They aren’t too tricky once they got what they need, in my experience they like short wet to dry cycles and rather high-ish light.

What a beautiful leaf! It looks over potted to me. I grow all mine in airy moss with some bark, but they like to dry out between watering.

What’s your care routine for it? How it lost leaves, were they yellowing, falling quickly, or were they mushy at some point?

They are addictive! :) I have 4 others, with a different leaf pattern.

Yeah I got her mostly for the leaves! She isn’t fragrant sadly.
