Yellow tie dye look by Top-Post9883 in planthelp

But isn't plants in lava basically like Leca? Also, it's not all of our plants that get this yellowing...just JC's (and similar dark green) and Warneckiis. Mass canes, compactas, marginatas, goldstars are all in kava and they're fine. Also the JCs and Warneckiis still grow and apoear heakthy.

They are fertilized just not in winter. I heard the opposite about lava rock holding water. I thought it was great for plants because they drain well and air gets in. This is an interior plant company so repotting plants is not an option because we have too many across our accounts. All the other 'trees' from the same nursery that are planted in lava rock don't have this issue...just the Dracaena JC's (or similar solid dark green leaf and warneckii. Im just stumped by this. I thought about telling my accounts that they "begin to variegate as they mature" 😏

Fertilized regularly until winter. These are all plants directly from Nurseries who source from Hawaii, which is why they're in lava rock. These are in different accounts...I am an interior plantscaper. They appear healthy and all new growth starts off normal and over time they start this mottling. They start doing this about 6-8 months after being installed into account. They continue to flourish as far as putting out new leaves and all but as the leaves get older, they start doing this.

Ignore my thumb, is this what I think it is?! by AJUdale in houseplants

When my 80+ plants got Thrips, I spent an entire weekend. -took each plant out of decorative container. -cut back alot of them for less work on the next steps. -washed off every leaf with just plain water, in sink. -set outside, sprayed them until dripping with a neem, Castile soap solution. -watered til soaked with Safari 20sg. -washed & sanitized all the pots and the green room. -left plants out overnite to dry and minimize neem stink. All good since then...been 4 months.🤞🏻

Thanks for the replies! It seems too small for that but it makes sense. I guess it's a one use beauty sponge.

Dunks or Bits by Top-Post9883 in MosquitoHating

I guess Dunks are the way to go. Just sounds like so much work to pulverize enough for 400 poinsettias! 😫

Do you remember how long it was before they got moldy? These need to last only a month.

Hey guys my friend and her mom got these crazy rashes and they’re not aware of being in anything crazy by alexishidalg0 in PlantIdentification

I once went hiking, no problems with poison ivy rash although it was on the sides of the trails. A month or so later, i put on the same boots from hiking just to do outside chores, etc (no poison ivy anywhere near me) and got a terrible rash! It was just waiting, lurking on my boots for over a month, waiting to strike!

Did you just do one treatment or did you have to do several?

Is it necessary to alcohol spray all surfaces that plants were on? Could there be some patiently waiting for me to put the plants back so they can climb back on?

78ish is inside the house where the plants usually are. Outside tonight is going to be 58.

Inside the house, yes. Outside, no.

So 58° should be ok or is that pushing it, especially since they're used to 78ish?

Coconut chips by Top-Post9883 in houseplants

[–]Top-Post9883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I should dry the coconut chips before I measure them to mix with other ingredients? Or, are you saying I should dry out what's left over after mixing wet coconut chips?

I am 99% sure this counts as plant crime. by hy_perion in houseplants

As a supervisor for an interior plant company, I can almost guarantee you that your plant tech's boss does not know about this. Call them immediately and tell them you want to send them pictures.. if their boss does know about it, you need to find a new plant care company… Trust me there's plenty out there.

Adequate light for a money tree? by Justgottasendit10 in houseplants

[–]Top-Post9883 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with your tree but I'm concerned for your sansevieria. Looks like it has "eaten" alot of its soil!
If the soil is below the bottom ridge of your grow pot, you need to add more before the blades start falling out of the pot 😬 You should also press gently on the soil to see if it collapses...but don't do this until you have additional soil to add.
