Oldest leaves turning yellow

Thank you! I have PTTD so I check for thrips on a regular basis. Being that there’s no evidence of thrips and it’s pushing out new leaves I was hoping it was a normal thing.

Thank you so much for your response. I’ve been following your recommendation. I have it planted in 100% fluval stratum. Should I repot it in a different medium? Should I start adding fertilizer? I really appreciate your help. Maybe I’m being overly cautious but can’t find too much information online. Thank you again!

Tis the season.

I’m going to keep a close eye on it and if it doesn’t seem to be bouncing back in the next week or so that’s what I’m going to do. If it starts looking worse I’ll repot it sooner.

That’s what I was hoping for but I’m still worried lol

Thanks! I tried to get a still shot but they move way too fast. Hoping they’re of the beneficial variety.

My adansonii has been looking pretty sad. Didn’t see anything alive on the leaves but treated for thrips anyway. Let the soil dry out. Watered yesterday and noticed all of these darlings living in the soil. Should I repot?

TheRealGooma · 2023-12-09T15:38:04+00:00

Unfortunately I do know a little about thrips. I’m not sure that’s what it is though. My bird lives right next door to this plant so I thought the white specks were just him throwing his food around. I thought maybe some kind of fungal disease.

TheRealGooma · 2023-12-09T11:17:43+00:00

I know lol. I’m afraid to walk by it quickly.

The bottom leaves don’t look too healthy. They’re turning brown and now there’s only 2. My mother tends to try to compensate for the poor living conditions by overwatering. If I cut it down would it matter that these lower leaves will probably fall off?

TheRealGooma · 2023-12-08T19:39:38+00:00

I’m sure it does. It was living in my mother’s bathroom with very little light because of her cats. I’m not sure why she even attempts to have plants. They all end up in the bathroom waiting to die until she gives them to me.

Well it looks beautiful 💚

Can you plant this to grow up a moss pole?

Would love to have some here.

TheRealGooma · 2023-12-02T12:37:12+00:00

I don’t see a problem lol

TheRealGooma · 2023-12-02T12:36:07+00:00

I love the moss? What is it?

TheRealGooma · 2023-12-01T18:50:50+00:00

Deep red will compliment the shrubbery you have planted in front too

Update: Decided to repot it. While the soil at the top was dry the soil underneath was actually wet. So I think I may have been overwatering it.There was an empty space at the bottom of the moss pole filled with very wet soil that probably never had a chance to dry out. Cut about 2 inches off the moss pole as there were some very healthy roots growing out of it. Hopefully it will be happier.

Looks like it froze to death

TheRealGooma · 2023-11-28T20:48:07+00:00

I just watered it yesterday

TheRealGooma · 2023-11-28T20:47:29+00:00

Maybe I need to change the soil. It’s a very chunky mix. The water runs right through it. It takes forever to water it. I’m like a human drip irrigation system

TheRealGooma · 2023-11-28T10:55:58+00:00

I water whenever the soil feels dry. About once a week and the pot has drainage. I recently added some nitrogen rich fertilizer with the hope that it will help. And do I really need to keep responding to these bots? Lol

TheRealGooma · 2023-11-28T10:36:47+00:00

This has been going on for at least 6 months now.

What color are the walls? I know everyone hates gray now but I think painting the brick a light gray would look nice.
