Re: Can you chop ensete glaucum to get pups?

Not Glaucum, not sure what it is, but definately not glaucum.

The pup is a clue.

Having thought about it, I think it looks like a burmese blue and your itinerans is probably a yunnanensis

Re: Anyone using airpots?

I am growing a mango tree in a 12 gal airpot. They seem to work very well, this mango tree is one of the healthiest and has flushed the most leaves recently.

Re: Pool Backwash Accident

I bet it's pool backwash, not black sigatoka. Cut off the bad leaves and if you haven't already, you need to thoroughly water the area to dilute the pool chemicals, and flush them out. Then it should...

Re: Pool Backwash Accident

You could try a non sequestered iron additive like iron sulphate to bind up the chlorine and waiting for it to leach away naturally. Or you could aerate the soil and try to get the chlorine to...

Re: Pool Backwash Accident

I see you are in Florida, so I would suggest leaching the area with freshwater. A gallon of fresh water per square foot of soil will pretty much leach everything out of the root zone.

Re: Pool Backwash Accident

That bottom photo looks like a bunchy-top infected leaf. It may be from the chlorine, but still looks similar.

Re: Pool Backwash Accident

Maybe flushing the soil with fresh water then letting it dry? Perhaps use a chlorine filter on the hose before flushing.
