There's something wrong with its leaves.
Does anyone know what it can be?
What's wrong with its leaves?
Teresa, I can't tell what is wrong if anything. What is the problem with the leaves as you see it? It looks like there is a new shiny leaf and that maybe the leaves got sprayed with something other than water. Have you check beneath the leaves for spider mites? I'm not sure if I see spider mite damage or not.
Clare, I'm concerned because of the weird spotiness on the leaves.
I DID spray some Neem Oil cuz of some nastiness, but that's about it.
Does it look OK to you?
Pleeeeeeze say "Yes"
Yes;-)
That's just the Neem oil showing on the leaves then. No worries, Mate. Make sure you repeat the process in a few days to get any hatching eggs and make sure to get the undersides of the leaves as well. I did the same thing not too long ago with Neem.
Whew! Okee dokee. Thanks!
Clare, I saw your post to someone else advising her to get rid of the drain tray under her Plumie.
This particular Plumie was transplanted not too long ago and is now in a pot with one of the built in drain tray thingies. It looked much better before I transplanted it.
I took it out and planted it in some fresh soil into a regular pot with normal drain holes. Upon investigation, I noticed that the soil was quite damp - actually wet. I bet my Plumie didn't like that much.
I hope he gets back to his normal cute self soon.
Thanks, as per usual Clare! :-) (aka my hotline/helpline for Plumies)
LOL, I'm glad I could help you solve the mystery! Good for you! Yes, good drainage is imperative. When drainage is impeded, a plumie will go downhill very quickly. I bet you'll see some rapid recovery. Make sure your plumie is in full sun to help that root system dry out a bit.
Clare, I put that Plumie out in full sun today!
Excellent!
