Are They Sick?
I feel like a new parent... I check my nanas almost daily and take pride in new leafs.
But I have a problem, I took these shots a week ago, and resolved to wait and watch, see if it was just a passing phase. Well at dusk today they look worse, I will take more pics tomorrow AM and post them. It seems to be spreading too. Any idea if it is a fungus, an insect, a normal thing? The only thing that has been sprayed on the plants is water from the hose, and some badly needed rain. The water is a little hard. The nanas are planted in raised beds (5-9 inches) well mixed compost and sandy clay. They have had a slow release 10-10-10 when planted, and will get another feeding this weekend. Bordlon 2 images Margarita 2 images What ever it is it seems to be spreading... Any Ideas? Should i take images of underside of the leaf and pstem? Gecko |

Re: Are They Sick?
Thanks
Guess no need for followup images until the mites are under control. Treated with 1ml dish soap and 10 ml of neem oil in 1 gallon US water. 1 gallon treated all my plants, and the soil in the raised beds. Now to wait a week and re apply and see... |
