Pinguicula hit by heavy rain.
« Thread Started on Mar 18, 2008, 5:32pm »
Guys,

I am keeping most of my CP on the balcony. And there was heavy rain yesterday. Saw few leaves of my Panguicula look like melting. The melting leaves are facing outside... Those leaves facing inside were ok.

Will it recover back or I have to trim it away?

Thank you.

without having a chance to view the condition of the leaves, i think you should trim it away. or if you can pull it out with the white part ( the part which attaches itself to the plant ), perhaps
you could try to propagate it.

just lay the leaf on moist LFS, keep moist & in bright light. hope it helps.

ok, i see what you mean...just pull it off then. camera from handphone yah ? heheh. but it is clear enough to see the damage.

may i know how long ago you got the ping ? i think it needs more light but depending on when you got the ping, you might want to slowly introduce more light to it. leaves which are strong & healthy usually can withstand heavy raindrops.

Dom, how is the ping now ? did you change the light levels ?

[mclim78]

Issit all types of ping dun like too much water?
So keep away from rain an dun sit water tray issit?

[plantlover]

Mine always get hit by rain and in water tray. Just make sure it don't get hit by HEAVY rain DIRECTLY.

[Varhoon Vystra]

Just ensure itwas not hit directly.
