Re: Whats wrong with my ventricosa?
 

Marigold:Hope ur nep is in a better condition now.It is good practise to spray some protection every 1-2 weeks even tough the plant is healthy and without any pest.

You dont need to use poison chemical pesticides.You can use water mix with oil(you can use cooking oil leftovers which we normally throw away;no need to use new oil),water mix with soap,water mix with neem oil etc. Spray below the leaves because these is the vunerable area.Once the leave below is damaged,it is exposed to all sort of dieases which is not acctually from the pests it self.

Thanx for the tips man..hope it helps in the future!

I'm back. Thanks for the advice everyone. I washed off the ventricosa and soaked it a couple times for several hours each time. (I used some soap on it, too) I have it planted in new media and so far it looks like it's doing ok.

I also did some research on trichoderma fungi. I really think it would help my venticosa heal faster. Does anyone here use trichoderma on their plants or know where to get any?

Nop...sorry but you can still google it though!

Re: Whats wrong with my ventricosa?
 

Sadly the ventricosa has died... :crying:

It's probably a sign though that I shouldn't buy more than one pot of each species. I don't know.

I'll be keeping the soil moist anyway in case it wants to regrow from the roots.

Eh, it was a young TC plant, and it was probably weak trying to acclimate to my conditions.
