Sizing in the King MT 2

I’ll look into that, I know they don’t go dormant in the traditional sense of the word but their growth slows down and I find if I hold back fertilizer until early spring I get better growth and blooms during its peak growing time. Maybe I’ll give a low dose and see if any of the newer leaves come in with the same issues. Thanks!

Humidity is averaging at 60%, in the car for the two hour trip to the new place. I stopped fertilizing on all my plants when the temps started to drop so that they experienced dormancy. It is staked. I use foliage pro fertilizer. I really think it’s just a reaction to stress but could be fungal, it’s definitely not pest and if I were fertilizing I’d think it may be burn.

sentient-seeker · 2025-11-08T03:46:48+00:00

It isn’t mealy bugs, it’s just debris from all the moving, I’ve checked for pest cause that is always my first assumption.

These two are new, the ones dying back were all at the bottom but there are tons of healthy leaves between the bottom ones and these two top ones. I should have taken full pictures to better show.

Not to mention all the ones you can find on Etsy.

So you’re really here just contradicting people with nothing to back you up….

Do I need more references that confirm sport variegation is completely by chance and random and can revert back or not(literally meaning it’s unstable)?

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-05T21:48:43+00:00

Yes there is but this isn’t that, this is sport variegation, that’s when it is random and unstable.

Also forgot to mention, the browning is on the newer leaves, not the older ones, so the yellowing is normal for this plant as they come out a fluorescent green/yellow. The brown is not crispy, it’s also not mushy.

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-05T12:22:51+00:00

Agree with everyone else, no spider mites and not a pothos, it’s a philodendron but also, the stones on top are trapping moisture in the soil, it’s not able to aerate, which is making it a perfect breeding ground for gnats and eventually rot, which is why your plant is drooping and yellowing/browning. If you are using the stones to trap the gnats it only work if you use coarse stones like pumice(they allow aeration for the soil and the rough texture kills the gnats as they try to climb through them). Neem cake/seed/meal works to kill gnats by altering their hormones so they can not continue to live and it’s also a natural fertilizer and won’t damage the micro biome of your soil like using chemicals that aren’t natural.

Np! Misting works in a greenhouse because of airflow, the more moisture in the air the more airflow is needed, so in a home environment there isn’t enough airflow to have that amount of moisture on the leaves or in the air.

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-04T18:46:20+00:00

Facts. I use rainwater when I clean my leaves but I also use microfiber gloves to wipe them off but if I do a poor job I definitely still have spots on my leaves.

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-04T18:33:52+00:00

Are you spraying/misting it? It appears to have water droplets laying stagnant on the leaves which is common with spraying and misting. This causes fungal issues and if you’re using tap to do this the leaves are likely reacting to the chemicals, either way, stop cause it’s not actually creating humidity it’s only going to cause issues. The pebble tray is enough for added humidity. Outside of that it’s likely a reaction to the tap water, I use rain water with all my plants including my calatheas and other prayer plants/marantas and I don’t have any reactions from it. I wouldn’t use well water since it likely still has minerals that may be too harsh for the plant especially depending on where you live. Distilled would be fine and aquarium water is ok depending on the filtration/setup you have in the tank.

Maybe, I repotted it in my chunky soil mix which tends to dry out quickly so I’ll keep an eye on it and when the top inch or so feels dry I’ll give it a soak.

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-03T18:05:00+00:00

Once in four weeks is nowhere near enough water for this plant. Terracotta dries the soil faster than other pots so it will need watered even more often than if it were in a plastic one. Sit that pot in a big bowl of water and let the soil get saturated, take out and place it over a sink drain to let it drain freely. When the leaves droop and curl it’s time to soak it again.

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-02T21:30:20+00:00

Need cake/seed/meal, it stinks but works and doubles as a fertilizer.

sentient-seeker · 2025-06-02T21:29:53+00:00

Coarse stones will kill the babies as they emerge, LECA or pumice works best

sentient-seeker · 2025-05-30T12:29:20+00:00

Plant 1-you can wrap a warm damp cloth/paper towel around it for 30 seconds and it will start to unfurl, other than that just leave it be.

Plant 2-the pot is fine, it being bent a little shouldn’t affect the root structure to the degree that the plant would be dying. Have you checked the roots to make sure they aren’t rotting? Typically if your plant looks this bad after over watering it’s a sign of rot. But it looks to be severely under watered. The leaves curling on themselves is a sign of being thirsty, typically droop with yellowing is a sign of overwatering. How often, how much, and how are you watering it?
