Truncata leaf problem

Hi all,
while my other plants grow well, a new leaf from my truncata seems not to be so healthy. Does anyone have experience like the picture below? or is it normal (i dont think so)? Thanx..

Re: Truncata leaf problem

I've 2 truncatas which is like that at the moment. Not very sure what's wrong. It was placed in the garden before where it received natural sunlight and rain.

I've placed one at the window. Since then, new leaves does not have that yellowish spots. Got a feeling it is rust spot fungus or sun burn.

Try not to let water droplets stay on the leaves for long periods. Try and see if that works. The one at the window indoors seem to be doing very well now.

Re: Truncata leaf problem

hi

i assume that truncata is from MT.....Alot of us over here also have that problem with MT's truncata so far. In fact, we all discussed about that. But dont worry ....it will get better with the newer leaves. u can check out GCS and read what one of our very experience growers did to her truncata.

We have yet to experience anything from BE's clone. Just to let everyone know, BE offered their lowland truncata for sale. Im not sure whether they still have it.
