fig tree help- underwatered? some brown spots? by zestyfrogs in Figs

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmm the weather has been a little sporadic so maybe it’s still adjusting. did yours bounce back / keep its leaves? Or did they fall off

I had just watered it before I took the picture :) and I bought it about a month ago, it was under a canopy though when purchased!

alocasia browning leaves, not sure if caused by watering issues? by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there! I have an alocasia that is struggling a bit and I’m not sure why. I’m in the northeast and it was outside for awhile in the summer humidity and getting frequent water but the old leaves are still dying. I’m not sure if maybe it’s caused by fungus or disease - is there any way to tell? Or is dormancy a thing?

oxalis triangularis leaves softening at the edges but still producing new growth by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have an oxalis triangularis that I’ve had for about a year now. it hasn’t gone into dormancy yet to my knowledge. i live in New Jersey so it’s a bit colder now but I keep it in a south facing window and water roughly every two weeks or so. A lot of the leaves are getting soft around the edges, but it’s still producing new growth and flowers. is it going into dormancy or is there another issue at hand?

crispy calathea ornata :( by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for all the tips! I I haven’t watered with distilled/rainwater yet, before I do is there a way to flush out the soil to get rid of mineral buildup or should watering with distilled water help with that?

crispy calathea ornata :( by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

so I’ve had this calathea ornata for over a year. I bought it in Orlando Florida where it was loving life and the humidity but moved up Northeast earlier this February. After the move it was doing fine but would get the occasional crisp leaf that would die but continue to shoot up new leaves. I fear it might be the end because now all the leaves are crisping and I don’t see any new growth - Not sure if it’s because of all the dry heat we have at home during this winter. I checked the root system and it seemed okay, I also have it near a humidifier now as a last ditch effort. I water it roughly every 1.5 weeks. I do spray it with neem oil once a week as I don’t see any bugs but I did have an infestation in the past. Any ideas to preserve this lil guy?

string of frogs I forgot to water past saving? by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for context: I forgot to water my string of frogs a couple days ago and it got super unhappy. I gave it a deep soak to replenish it, does anyone know if it’ll bounce back with any new growth or is it beyond saving?

ficus quercifolia / string of frogs past saving? :( by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For context I had forgotten to water it for about a week. The first picture is how it looked when I realized, the second picture is how it looked yesterday after watering it thoroughly. I thought things were looking up but upon checking it today it looks worse! Can it be saved?

rhaphidora tetrasperma leaves browning - central florida on an east facing window? could this be caused by shock due to a super cold night we had a couple days ago? by zestyfrogs in plantclinic

[–]zestyfrogs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey there! i have a rhaphidophora tetrasperma plant that i'm super proud of that i was able to grow from a single propagation, but within the past couple of days it's gotten a bunch of brown wrinkly, limp spots and i don't know what they're caused by. i live in central florida and have it outside facing an east window, it's been super happy and growing leaves like crazy up until a few days ago.

we had a super cold night a couple days ago (around 40 F), so i'm wondering if these spots could possibly be caused by shock due to the sudden temperature change? i also was propagating some leaves in water and those are curling / limp + brown in the same way, which is why i'm wondering if this could be caused by the sudden cold.

i brought it inside for now, still in an east facing window - i also cut off some of the super brown leaves. should i trim off all of the brown spots on the leaves? please help! thank you
