New leaf goes soft brown in one afternoon
I have two dwarf cavendish in containers. I bought the original last year and seperated them a few months ago. Both are in Roots Organics potting soil. They were in the same soil last year and did very well.
The wife put them outside when temps passed 55 F - high was 70 today. It was real cold for 2 days and they sat in my hallway with very little light during those 2 days. The moisture meter says they have plenty of water. although when i dig down about 4 inches or so it still only seams barely moist. I checked the roots in the top parts of the soil, they are beautifully white and fuzzy. I have had some fungus gnat issues, still there are large groupings of healthy roots. I feel like ive narrowed it down too: 1. Not enough water 2. Cold air temp 3.disease 4.too much sun? I am hoping someone with more experience might be able to shed some light on this issue- I am at a total loss. |

Re: New leaf goes soft brown in one afternoon
I'd say it's probably the sun. It needs
time to adjust. I'm no expert but I wouldn't worry too much. |

Re: New leaf goes soft brown in one afternoon
My super dwarf Cavendish burn like crazy unless slowly accustomed to the sun over about 2 weeks, and then still get a few burns before growing out of it.
