Re: ericsow: First Cephalotus
I suggested to malowie that you guys check with YG how they are growing the Cephs. From what I know, the plants are all grown in peat and then potted in LFS to be sold. That media is way too soggy for our growing conditions.
Unless the whole pot is constantly kept cool (20-25C), the plants are going to be very prone to all sorts of problems. There is also a very high chance of root rot.
Mildew is best treated using systemic fungicide. I used alcohol but it kept spreading to new leaves.
Yellowing leaves mean trouble at the roots. Either is root rot or there is mealybugs at the root.
