Blue Java: cut off rotting layers?
https://imgur.com/a/6iukX
I've been peeling/cutting off the rotting layers (dark and mushy) on my Blue Java near the bottom of the stem. I read that it helps them breathe and prevents the rot to spread into the inside. However I am worried that peeling too much will cause the stem to become flimsy and unable to support the tree. What is the correct approach? Thanks. Edit: Also, in the future is there a way to prevent this rotting before it becomes a problem? Last edited by BobShh : 07-14-2017 at 08:55 AM. |

Re: Blue Java: cut off rotting layers?
It is normal for some rot or damage to happen on the outside . if it is eating through it is likely a severe problem or illness. I have over 300 individual plants now and rot always naturally sheds off. If I had one rotting through nonstop I would send the whole thing to the landfill to not infect any other plants.

Re: Blue Java: cut off rotting layers?
Any rotten material must be removed. It will spread from leaf to leaf by contact. Generally rot is the result of cold rainy conditions.,
