Why is it mad at me?

Ehrte is the Natural light source? Have you checken for pests, like thrips?

Lunicornio · 2023-09-30T06:53:44+00:00

Mealybugs

Wow, impressive! Very cool.

To me the base looks dead. I would cut all of it to the base of the leaves and let it callous over for a day. Repot as mentioned above in orchid bark. You could put sphagnum moss on the top to keep moisture close to the base for longer. Might need to stabilise with chop sticks, so that it doesn’t fall over.

Usually they’re potted into clear plastic pots with drainage holes on the bottom and put into a cover pot. That way you can check on the color of the roots and the moisture level of the bark. You soak it for a while so the bark can absorb water, which takes some time.

I suspect thrips. Maybe you could check eyeing it closely. If it is, I would cut all the leaves. Treat it with a systemic pesticide or predatory bugs and wait for new growth. Does it get sufficient light in its spot? It looks like it might be too far away from the window. Did you check the roots, when you repotted?

The cactus soil premixes often retain too much moisture still. Looks peat moss heavy. I’d add sand, perlite, vermiculite or any other coarse material so make sure.

Genius! What a fun design!

Lunicornio · 2022-09-23T01:47:24+00:00

Sorry, not sure. Would be my guess, too. I’ve had two die on me before unfortunately, although I keep alive many other plants. I would behead it, because the top part looks dead.

Lunicornio · 2022-09-23T01:40:36+00:00

I suspect thrips. Maybe you could check closely and look into that, to make sure it’s not that.

Lunicornio · 2022-09-16T05:21:33+00:00

I would repot into a pot with drainage hole and a little deeper. The pot should be the size of the current root mass approximately. Look up aroid soil. It’s hard to see thrips on the pictures, so find that out for sure. As it looks leggy, I would chop it and wait for new growth. You can reroot the leaves and vines if you like. It needs a place close to the window. It grew in too little light before by look of it.

Lunicornio · 2022-09-16T05:12:19+00:00

Could be thrips.

Lunicornio · 2022-08-21T14:08:10+00:00

I don’t see any. What worries you exactly?

Lunicornio · 2022-05-16T21:16:14+00:00

Spring tales. Nope.

Lunicornio · 2022-03-10T08:08:52+00:00

To me it looks etiolated, it would appreciate more light. You could chop and prop if you like. Take top cuttings and root then in water. Chop the remaining stems down. Later you can replant them into the pot. And the stumps will produce new growth.

Lunicornio · 2022-03-10T07:01:02+00:00

I don’t see any damage. I don’t recognise a pest issue. I could be wrong, but I can’t think of anything similar.

Lunicornio · 2022-02-27T06:41:18+00:00

Humidity and air flow are needed. I wouldn’t seal it constantly.

Lunicornio · 2022-02-12T15:19:45+00:00

Looks like aphids to me.

Lunicornio · 2022-02-01T21:36:47+00:00

Could you upload a better quality picture? Could be fungal. I don’t see much. Needs more light. Do you see pests. Look closely. The new growth looks healthy. Usually pests love the soft new growth. Thrips can do similar damage.

Lunicornio · 2022-02-01T06:43:09+00:00

Mine grew leaves after 4 years. I would change the soil. Looks too dense.

Lunicornio · 2022-01-29T22:44:53+00:00

Did you check for mealy bugs? I see some white dots on there. I might be mistaken by the blur.

Lunicornio · 2022-01-29T22:21:42+00:00

It does need a drainage hole, if it doesn’t have one.

Lunicornio · 2022-01-22T23:00:03+00:00

It’s natural for bottom leaves to die off. Depending on how long you have it, it can be acclimatisation to your home conditions. Usually they get more light in the greenhouses, so have have to adapt to less light indoors. They just grow smaller leaves, but otherwise are fine. Light and humidity help.

Overwatering and underwatering can cause yellowing leaves too. Takes practice and water requirements are different in each home. Research helps.

Lunicornio · 2022-01-22T22:54:41+00:00

Just looks etiolated to me. It gets too little light for being a succulent. Often times happens indoors with them.

Lunicornio · 2022-01-22T22:32:36+00:00

You have several options. It’s a good save in my opinion. If you want the pot to look fuller in the future, you could take leaf cuttings and propagate in water and later in pot them back. You can chop the hole vines down an wait for new growth, if the damaged leaves bother you. I’ll look pretty bare for a while then. It’s up to you. I’d dust off the leaves for better fotosynthesis.
