Today at 01:31 PM Hibiscus Problems by Jlnbtr

Hi, I am new here. My name is Jules. I am a hibiscus fan, but I don't really know a lot about plants or flowers. A few months ago my hibiscus started getting sick. The plants are still flowering, but the leaves seem sick. There are like these bumps on them, they're light green and eventually make the whole leaf curl up. I took some pictured of the leaves. I hope anyone can tell me what's wrong with them. Thank you :)








(sorry for the big photos)

02/05/10 06:56 PM Storing seed? by DaisyM

Last year I bought some minature plastic bags and stored my seed in them over the winter? Now I'm hearing that paper is better than plastic. What's the scoop on this one? Hope I didn't kill my seed?

02/05/10 12:40 PM Rainforest-Like Plants by aleo5555

Question.

1. Would LEDS work well on rainforest-derived seedlings. I think the LED is a 225 watt panel. The seedlings are going to be in a glass container (terrarium). If thats too powerful for seedlings in glass let me know

2. What would plants of this sort need added to the soil? Got some standard topsoil from the gardening center. Figured they'd need a different mixture than the cactus mix I'm going to make. Trying to get some successful rainforest plants grown from seed to beyond

Lynne, below is a recent photo of the Cactus that you had sent be awhile back.

01/28/10 01:58 PM Areca Palm: Tiny brown spots and annoying flies by adamant

Hi. I'm new to the forum and hope you can help. I have an Areca Palm that does beautifully in my work cube (next to the window, late day sun, etc.). She's been in the same spot for 5 years and seems to really love it -- in an 8" pot, the tallest frond is ~4', and has grown up from a tiny baby).

Anyway, for the last 3 years, she's had these *tiny* little brown spots near the base of almost every frond (dozens on each). There are a few spots further up the frond, but they are mainly concentrated near the base. The spots are not raised; they don't seem to be a symptom of anything; they don't seem to affect her happiness or growth; they're not even that unsightly (from a distance it just looks like a browning section) -- but I want to know what it is and if I can fix it! Any ideas?

While I'm at it, just yesterday I noticed tiny little flies congregating around my plant. They are easy to kill and there aren't a lot of them, but still -- I don't want any flies bothering my baby. I recently repotted the plant (from 6" to 8") and used soil from an unopened potting mix bag. I don't know if this could have anything to do with it, but thought I'd mention it. Any ideas?

Thanks.

01/26/10 08:04 AM Help! by plants 'n pots

Mr. Gizmo!!! For a few weeks now, when I type my messages here on The Gardenhelper, and ONLY here, I cannot see my letters that are being typed unless I type e x t r e m e l y sloooooooooowly...! I am a rather fast typist and this is driving me nutty! I have to wait at least 15 seconds to see what I've typed to find out if it's all spelled correctly.

I have deleted my cookies here several times since this all started. It helped the first time for a few minutes, but has been the same since then.

Again - it's only on this website.

01/25/10 07:15 AM Little white eggs and black eggs on pepper plants by InNeedOfHelp

I have these little white eggs all over my pepper plants. Some have white eggs with little black bugs and others look like little black eggs. The white ones seem to cover everything on the plants, but the black eggs only seem to be on the underside of the leaf. My pepper plants are sitting right next to other plants, yet the eggs and bugs are only messing with the pepper plants. Does anyone know what these are and how to prevent them? Naturally?

01/23/10 11:31 AM "Queen's Tears" by Grandmaede

Does anyone have one of these plants? It's a bromiliad and drinks water like a fish. Has gorgeous green, pink and yellow blossoms on long pink spikes. I love this plant but it seems to always have some dry, dead leaves. I can pull them out when they dry completely but wonder is there is another way to handle this especially when it's only the tips of the leaves that dry.

Also, does anyone have the botanical name for this?

01/22/10 08:37 PM My umbrella plant is in dire straits - help! by Linnea

I just recently had an umbrella plant given to us, the kind with smaller leaves, and they transported it here in the back of the pick up truck in the winter, about 1 mile. Not a good idea, I know. But no going back on that now. Ever since then it has been losing leaf stems at an increasingly alarming rate. It has probably lost 60% of its branches. It has been 2 weeks. They seem to be turning brwn and look a little shrively, and the ends of the branch that the leaf stem branches out from are turning black. I wondered though if it was not just the transporting that was the problem, but does it have enough water? We watered it once just a little bit and perhaps the water didn't get to the root and it's dying from lack of water? Or is it not getting enough sunlight? It gets some indirect sun for part of the day as its by a big window but the sun doesn't shine in the window as the window faces the north. We got a full spectrum bulb we've been shining on it fr about 5 days and it only seems to be getting worse. Is it water, or light, or is it just shock? Is this plant salvagable and if so, what should I do?
