My lost

[kentosaurs]

Hi everyone

Just to inform i probally have lost my VFT which i thought at first was just the plant going for dormany but instead its last leaves became infected by a fungus attack called black spot....I could still be wrong since some VFTs so die off completely sometimes...But i was just to careless..Anyways its probally in CP heaven right now
Good luck VFT

Aw, thats too bad. How long have you had it?

So sorry about your VFT.I don't think VFT is going dormant now.It's the wrong time.They should be waking up now.

Hi Alcran

Well i have about a year + quite a big VFT........Anyways i can't really confirme its death yet because the rhizome isn't black or rotting YET and also i see tiny little pointy stuff coming out from the rhizome so maybe its new growth...So i'll see how it goes.

Marvin, dormancy can happen anytime in tropical countries. Unlike temperate countries with four season.

[Varhoon Vystra]

dormancy does not look like the plant is fully dead but its sad that your plant die.

[plantlover]

Ken, check the bulbs. if its still white than its not dead but if its brown and mushy then its dead.

Just keep the plant. Keep it until you see the rhizome starting to turn black. Hopefully your VFT is putting a false alarm........

Cheers

Hi Varhoon

Normally a plant does not die back completely when it goes for dormancy but they definitly do in some cases....(Hoping mine is part of the case) Anyways the rhizome is not mushy and rotten yet still quite ok........I'll take you advices and continue to keep the plant but less wet just in case...I just hope its not the black spot thing.
