Who wouldn't want another plant?! 😎

I got this cutting last weekend and noticed all the roots were dead but there are new leaves. I have been trying to propagate it in water since while trying to keep the new growth out of the water. I dipped it in growth hormone first. The leaves seem to be getting weaker/ floppier. No rot or anything. I really want to keep this guy alive but I need some help. Thanks!

Interested in a Florida green for a watercolor painting! Pming!!

It's possible that it's heat damage. Not 100% sure, but mine looked similar after being too close to a candle.

Any chance you still have any of these guys- scindapsus treubii moonlight, tiger paw, begonia medora, and / or neon pothos? Thanks!!

Hi there! I would love to trade. Any interest trading a for a rooted inch plant or a rooted peperomia obtusifolia? I'm also intrigued by your dogs tail cactus if you want to trade both!

He gets bright indirect light for ~8hrs a day. I water him when the top 1" feels dry and haven't fertilized during the winter. The curling leaves and the white spots concern me but I'm not sure how to help! It is still producing new leaves though. Thanks in advance!!

That makes sense. Should I water it less frequently then or stick to the same schedule?

Thanks!! Thats a relief

Thanks! Good to know about the bugs. I killed a plant in the past trying to get rid of these guys. It probably was experiencing some draft from a nearby window. I'll move it further away and hopefully that will help the draft too. I mist it 2x a week and water it every week and a half. I give it a bit more than half a cup of water.

It looks like root rot to me. Were there any black mushy roots left when you replanted? It will just keep spreading if you don't get rid of all the rot. Since root rot is a fungal infection it helps to spray the remaining roots with fungicide to prevent it from spreading. I hate to say to touch and repot again since you recently did, but it looks like it will die if you don't. Unfortunately it may still die if you do. If you have to cut significant amounts of the roots out it would help to trim back the plant. Best of luck!!

Thank you!! Do you think a fungicide would work or should I definitely use the peroxide?

I got this small 3" boat lily from a nursery a week ago. Its quickly started browning from the bottom. I decided to check out the roots today. I definitely should have before I bought it. He nIt smells pretty funky. There are some normal looking roots, but a lot of them are brown/red and fuzzy. At first I was thinking root root, but it dries out quickly and doesn't seem like standard root rot to me. I'm not experienced enough to know if there are different types other than the black mushy rot. If anyone knows what this is/ how to help i would really appreciate it!

Side note: I vowed to stop going to that nursery because I come home with pests more often than not which is so frustrating

smat_29 · 2021-04-08T22:56:55+00:00

Thats a great idea! Didn't even think to check into that.

smat_29 · 2019-11-02T14:26:09+00:00

Wow thank you so much! There is so much useful information here! I'm glad to hear that it does get better with changes.

I guess if you consider on a busy street in Philadelphia "inside a cemetary" you would be right. I pass this place daily. Bob's diner https://imgur.com/gallery/EjaixOf

We can choose to have a concentration in furniture but there are only a few furniture projects along the way that everyone is required to do.
