Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.

1. No suckers. 2. Compared to your first photo, almost all of the old leaves have died. My plant is like yours in those respects. But, I know that my older leaves are dying sooner than they should. Does anybody know the cause? As an experiment, I am thinking about spraying my plant with 250 ppm silver nitrate because it is an ethylene antagonist and ethylene promotes leaf abscission. See http://www.plantphysiol.org/content/...3/268.full.pdf Also, I have a small fortune in silver nitrate gathering dust in my basement that I haven't used in 45 years. Who else but me hoards that kind of stuff? Ha, ha, ha, the advantages of being me. Last edited by aruzinsky : 04-10-2018 at 11:08 AM. |

BTW, silver nitrate is not my best choice for ethylene antagonists. I am only using it for convenience. If I could afford it, I would use aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG), the active ingredient in the commercial PGRs, ReTain and PinCor.

Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.
i was going to wait until the plant had reached its absolute maximum sixe for this season and then post a pic...
but i couldnt wait at one point a while back raccoons decided to climb all over it breaking some leaves and breaking the centre took a little while for leaves to emerge properly but it got over that and has been doing great this season looking forward to seeing everyone else's lasiocarpa pics! |

Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.
The plant that I had picked up was mislabeled and is not a Lasi.
It is growing and looks nice but ain't what they said it was. I need to get it to bloom to see what it is. I think it is some sort of lilly. . Not a lasi by Hostafarian, on Flickr |

Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.
after doing a little reading today i am starting to doubt whether i have a lasiocarpa either!
this describes the stem as being %30 of the plant height mine definitely does not fit that description Musella splendida response |

My plant is not exhibiting the growth behavior like your plant and subsonicdrones. This plant has a clumping habit. I had a discussion with the previous owner who got it on a trade and the conclusion was..... There is no conclusion. We believe it is some sort of plant in the lily family. |

Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.
since this may not be musella lasiocarpa i hope i did not expose it to too cold of temperatures also being in the container would be colder for it i was contemplating piling wood chips around the container in a big mound covering the p stem as well i think i will just bring it indoors soon on the bright side no spider mites indoors this year they always loved this plant (keeping on top of a small scale(mealybug) problem but almost pest free this year) |

I thought that your plant was a better variety than mine because it had shorter petioles. Where did you get it? |

Re: Resilient little lasiocarpas.
rice road nurseries ... i think
Hardy Tropicals – Rice Road Greenhouses it usually dies back each fall even indoors in decent conditions i figured i would let it die back in the cold this year what makes me think it is not musella lasiocarpa is its size and the shortness of the pstem in relation to the leaf length Last edited by subsonicdrone : 11-17-2018 at 03:54 PM. |
