Hi glider14:
In cases like this, i'd pull the plant out gently from the pot, check the roots and spray the whole plant including the roots with a nep friendly fungicide, as a safety precaution, even though ,it looks like your plant has experienced a temporary minor dessication event (lack of humidity)

Another thought, are you using RO or distilled water? My tap water is toxic to plants. If the shower, bath faucet is dripping, even a little, it will leave a blue-green stain on the tub by the end of the day, indicating high levels of copper, which is toxic to plants; also, some towns clorinate the city water, and the disolved mineral salts will also cause this on the leaves even from just a sprayer.

its RO water.
AF: when i first got it from Black Jungle (a BE supplier) i re-potted it because it was in ceder mulch. the root system was rather weak compared to the muluensis x lowii and talangensis i got along with it. the next leaf will open in a few days if the problem persists i know its not somthing like light damage or a humidity problem.

Alex Ya... I'm continuously annoyed by the medium that Black Jungle uses... I just repot them after about a month in my conditions to try to cut down on shock to the plant. |

first off i personally think that your problem would have to be not having distilled water or having mineral enhanced water which would cause leaf bruning but you may want to still spray a fungicide just in case.

In Alex's second post, he states he uses RO water.
Light damage is very hard to differentiate from a fungal/viral infection. If any knowledgeable person would care to explain how to tell the difference, that would be great.

well the way i figure that out is by taking the plants out of the sun if you continue to see browning your plant probally has an infection or the leafs are dying already from the sun damage but if its a minimal amount of browning it wont die if its from the sun....

or...just wait till the new leaf comes out. im thinking its light damage. i did have 1 2 bulb 4ft fixture on it. then moved to 2 fixtures. it was just weird that none of my other plants on the same shelf showed the same damage.
im 100% sure its not water as i use the same water for every single CP i have.
ill update on progress when the leaf unfolds

Alex, Remember this thread? terraforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106867 This shows what happened to my N. hamata plant when I simply put fresh fluorescent tubes into the light fixture.. same exact tubes only fresh... As long as the plant shows a healthy growth point I say let it be. Too many plants are lost to impatience of growers to correct "problems" Cheers, Steve |
