Brugmansias

Only sal will know the answer to that
I have been feeding them twice a week guys when i do my tomatos

Do you mean i can nip a small leaf off and pop it in compost for a cutting?

 

You can nip them off or grow them on for cuttings if you like? Good heavens , no sir! I meant grow out the branches if you wish, if not, ship em off!!! Wayne

 

Agree Kirsten, weekly but weakly!!
I really should check what I write, I get carried away

Right, I have another bloom. It's a cross of a yellow Aurea x DDR x DDR( DDR is a flower called Double Dark Rosetta). So the thought of the cross was, nice waxy plant, good scent, introduce some colour into it. But it didn't happen No matter!

But still it's a prolific bloomer that sometimes throws double's after a while. But this is the first of many and here she is. Nice twangers on her... Wayne

 

Hello chums.

I'm a bit concerned about the mottling on the leaves, as even the newer leaves are showing signs. I'm pretty sure I've got rid of the RSM and Thrips, so I'm thinking it might be Magnesium deficiency ?

 

If spidey mite..check for fine webbing between the freshest shoots and leaves. If this is the case, try some diluted washing up liquid sprayed on both sides of the leaves. The plant won't like it too much, but it will recover and you will have lovely smelling hands

If not, try to get hold of some Molasses and dilute it( a teasppon in a watering can) maybe a pinch of Epsom salts in the can too. Feeds the soil and puts good nutients into the plant.

Hiya Wayne

Molasses, you mean this ?

 

Freddy, more like blackstrap molasses. I got my from a horses tack yard, around 7 quid for a 5 litre container. Great stuff, contains iron , phosphoros,etc. Last a long, long time too. Cannas thrive on it too.

Freddy, try the washing up liquid spray ... personally I would not attempt anything here sticky in a hot environment.

 

Hiya Vicky.

As I said, I'm pretty sure that there isn't a pest issue

Yeah, but I think gardeners prefer a "raw" alternative. Not used it myself, you might find it in an (online) hydroponics store, or an organic gardening one.

 

What brand kristen? Not seen any in our hydro shop but will certainly ask next time i pass

 

I posted when others had already replied - phone rang after I started my reply I expect. What Wayne said was what I was thinking of. I'll have a root around for the details I have in "my little folder" when I have a mo. in case I have an alternative you might like to consider.

 

Found my Molasses( unsulphured blacstrap Molasses) . It's from Gold label, found it on Amazon, a mate got mine from a Horse tack shop.
