Yellow outer leaves and no blooms
Comments (6)Alys, a couple of tips and useful places to go: If you've had the plant for 8 months, chances are it's a semiminiature; they get to about 8" across. The rule of thumb is, the diameter of the pot should equal 1/3 the diameter of the plant. Practically, this means it should be in a 2" to 2 1/4" pot, and it'll never have to go to a larger one. Standard soilless mix is 1 part peat, 1 part vermiculite, and 1 part perlite; very light and porous. And don't pack it in the pot; spoon it in and tap the side of the pot. Bright indirect light; don't stick it directly in a southern window, it'll fry. Places to go: the FAQ at the top of the forum's main page, www.avsa.org, and Rachel's Reflections (linked below) with tons of cultural info, lessons, and pix. Good luck and have fun.

Comments (5)Thanks fuzzyleaves. I checked Dr. Optimara and there are so many things it could be, I can't determine anything. It seemed to have spread between plants and is more affecting the lighter leaved AV. The darker leaved ones don't have it as bad....See MoreOuter leaves bad; inner ones OK (?)
Comments (14)Mo, I didn't get any dessert containers, mostly because I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE ROOM. In fact, someone brought me a 35 gallon terrarium (it will be when I'm through with it). Now I have to figure where to put it and how to light it. It has a clear top, no lights. I have plants to put in it, just no place to put it. Grr. Argh! (I miss Buffy.) Oh yeah; I got to find one of our (sort of) cats in the street this morning on my way to the bus. This tops off yesterday's incident at Safeway; I tried to get them to mark down a mini Phal. orchid because it'd been there so long and I noticed it had mealies. Nope, new policy says don't mark it down, don't give it away, throw it out. I want to go home.

Comments (8)Yes, I think the chili thrip does come from the chili plant. Unfortunately they like roses even more. I would not cut off the leaves because they do not look too damaged and can still feed the plant. If you do not see improvement, try a granular insecticide. Its not my favorite option, but chili thrips are hard to get rid of and sometimes only a systemic will work. What type of spray did you use? Let us know how it worked out for you. Also be sure to spray under the leaves because that's where they hang out. Good luck!...See Moreilene_in_neok
