Moon flower leaves dying
Comments (5)I don't know what the problem is, tho you may want to check in at the Brugmansia forum and see if they can lend some insight, the plants are very similar. Merriss, my datura are planted in whickey barrels with nicotiana and has been for a couple of years. They do fabulous so I have to guess that the tobacco story is not correct....See MoreI finally found some Moon flower transplants.
Comments (2)I found seedlings at a nursery here, this year. Last year, my now exboyfriend upended the tray my peat pots were in - I lost every one of my plants! I would've killed for some seedlings. Yesterday, I go on down to the nursery to pick up some stuff, and I saw them...and there were so many! Best part? Mine are way bigger. I was so pleased! I know I had to wait another whole year to have them back, but it'll be worth it....See MoreWhy is my moon flower wilting?
Comments (6)Greetings,(umbrella) I can think of another reason if more water doesn't work. You mention that its in cement, how new is the cement? Is there a cement grout in the brick work? the cement could be combining with any fertilizers that you use on it, if you increased the fertilizer because it was wilting, it would wilt more if this is the cause. The lime in the cements can cause a chemical burn to the roots if the fertilizer mixes with it. Thats why we never fertilize and spread lime at the same time! I'd say stop any fertilizers (even organic) and increase the watering, by soaking the roots down deep, to see if that helps.Moonflowers do wilt some but always seem less wilty when the rains satisfy them. Hope this helps!...See MoreYellow MoonFlower
Comments (1)Is that the same as a primrose? If yes, this link may help: http://www.bachmans.com/tipsheets/Perennials/PrimrosesInandOut.cfm Quote: Primroses for Indoors Primroses can be used to bring a unique touch of spring indoors in the winter. The key to getting the most out of an indoor primrose plant is to keep it where it receives bright light (but not direct sunlight), stays evenly moist and as cool as possible. In our winter climate, a sunny window that has a sheer curtain is almost always bright and cool. Direct morning sunlight is great, but avoid the afternoon sun. Ideal temperatures for an indoor primrose are mid-60ºs during the day and mid-50ºs at night. If you can't keep your primrose where it is cool, be sure to keep the humidity high. This can be accomplished by placing the plant on a humidity tray and misting the leaves (not the flowers) regularly. Primroses are sturdy plants that seldom have any insect or disease problems, but it is always advisable to be watchful. If the leaves get dusty, rinse them off with room temperature water. Keep in mind that while primroses need to stay consistently moist they cannot tolerate soggy soil....See Moreflybabytina
