Red Markings on Appleblossom Leaf
Comments (10)Eep! That mite damage sounds like the little red squiggles I noticed on my red Hippeastrum just after I divided it from its daughter. There were some bumps on the edge of some leaves that I caught my hands on while I divided. Not as sawtoothy as Hans pic, yet. Is orthanex also a systemic for roses? I think there may be a bottle of the granular in the house, if it is. Were you using a liquid form and would the granular work? If none of those what type of sulfur should I look for at the pharmacy? (Chemical formulas won't scare me if they're under 15 characters long.) I assume I'll have to treat all three of my plants (the red & daughter and my appleblossom) as they've all been sitting together....See MoreTiny black spots on Japanese maple leafs
Comments (3)There are various reasons JM's develop leaf spots and some have nothing to do with diseases. With a very young tree just recently purchased from a nursery, I would suspect physiological leaf spot or a reaction to envirnomental factors - weather, mechanical damage, jostling by customers or due to travel, etc. Certainly nothing I would be overly concerned about at this point. Just keep an eye on it so you will know if the situation starts to escalate. Just an FYI but one wants to be extremely hesitant about spraying JM's with anything other than water. Their delicate foliage reacts badly with most pesticides and creates a phytotoxic reaction that is often worse than the problem being treated. Drooping condition most likely caused by planting/transplanting, which can cause temporary shocking. Keep out of sun and properly watered until it recovers. FWIW, I am not aware of 'Akane' having any particular issues with leaf spot. I grow it myself and it is a pretty trouble free cultivar IMO....See MoreTiny bugs in soil of fiddle leaf fig
Comments (7)Most mites are not dangerous to plants - they may be annoying to us - and I would not use systemic if these were in the soil. Most are beneficial - predatory mites. They feed on destructive bugs/pests. Obviously, not the dreaded spider mites! Beneficials actually could be used to fight the spider mites. They are tiny, but if you could see them having 8 legs, they are mites. Springtails are also beneficials, you'll always find them by millions in compost. They love organic and wet environment. Many help in controlling plant fungal diseases. Even fungus gnats won't really harm the plant, unless there is huge infestation. Their larvae could feed on roots, and that's why they are not welcomed. And the flies are so annoying!!! As tommyr pointed out, many creatures are sign of too much moisture and organic matter. Providing well-draining substrate with inorganic components (much less chance of over-watering) will help to eliminate (or at least greatly reduce) many of them....See MoreLeaf marks .....concerning????
Comments (6)I get little spots like this frequently on Hoyas. There seems to be no bad effect, except they detract from the beauty of the plant. When you get plants grown outside, they always have imperfections like this. I think it's just little damage spots - maybe wet leaves in the sun (a tiny burn from the sun magnified through a water droplet), or a developing leaf got bumped or poked. They look perfectly healthy otherwise! Denise in Omaha...See Morevgkg Z-7 Va
