This is from seeds given to me by Picturelady (the hybridizer was J.T. Sessions - Pink Beauty X RK). She is now in this 4" pot and stands about 3.5" above the rim of the pot. She's been doing great - but in the last couple weeks has developed these curved leaves. Now..I haven't fed her, but she is potted in MG potting soil and is under my grow lights 16 hrs a day. I have been PLAGUED with spider mites on some of my other plants and brugs - but have not seen anything on her. It looks a little like the "calcium deficiency" I saw described in another post here, but how do you tell if that's her problem for sure?? And if so, how do you fix it? I have a meter that measures light, PH and Fertillizer levels. The PH in the soil is 5.6 and the fertilizer meter only says "too little" on the fertilzer scale...don't know how to interpret that. What do you experts think? Diane Krny |
