broomensis disaster

[droseradude]

yea...so yesterday i gave my broomensis a lot of superthrive, now the middle is all gray and dead and stuff...under the dying leaves it is still green, and the bottom leaves are too. What should I do? I changed the water and moved it...i don't think it liked the intense lights.

my god man im trying to get ahold of one of these and you just kill yours, whats this world coming to?

seriously though, why did yah give it a bunch of superthrive? i dont even own any of the stuff and i get along just fine.

and #2 a move to alot higher intensity light over a very short period is always a no-no in my book. alot of plants just cant handle it, yah have to go slow

Spec tre of Doom! One drop of superthrive to the gallon of water, and shaded light for a couple weeks is the norm. Too much of a good thing will kill anything!!!!

Take leaf cuttings immediately and hope they strike. Dead centers in the Petiolaris plants spells doom and death.

 

[droseradude]

done

petiolaris hate me.
(except for paradoxa cos it loves everyone)

lol keep trying, everyone kills plants, ive killed paradoxa before and look at my falconeri a few posts down. if yah like them keep working with them. just go easy on the super thrive and light the next go round

 

[droseradude]

while I was at it i also took some d. lanata cuttings cos mine is being retarded (not dead, though).

oh yea.. this is sort of off topic, but do you think I could grow the lanata on my windowsill? It gets very warm and bright from around 1-7PM.

 

[rattler]

lanata? where are yah coming up with these, i want your source now man

actually i know where a bunch are but i cant pay $10 plus a plant plus shipping going to have to wait till i get some cuttings of my falconeri going so i have trade bait i guess

 

[droseradude]
