joeyromacus Posted May 8, 2013 Hi all. I have a B Caapi, Can't remember which kind it is. It's either a Cielo or Ourinhos. Not that important I suppose. I'll mostly let the pictures do the talking but my problem is this. I have recently noticed brown dead spots on the edges and middle of my leaves. The leaves haven't been looking healthy in general lately but this has me a touch concerned. It seemed to start on the underside of the leaves. The only factors I can think of is 1. The obvious change to cooler whether, along with the associated humidity drop. I live in a sub-tropical coastal environment. 2. Having repotted it about a month ago. 3. Overmisting, which I haven't been doing ridiculous amounts, unless you are supposed to dramatically reduce it in cooler temps? 4. Lack of some much needed but overlooked nutrient. I have been watering her about every 4-5 days lately (reduced from every 3 days for the past couple months.) Every third to fourth watering I would use liquid Seasol at a fair rate. She was growing super fast and super fine until about 4 months ago then dramatically slowed. These are about all the details I can think of at the moment. Thanks for your time.

Scientician Posted May 8, 2013 To me it looks like it's probably just a little bit of die back from the cooler weather. Possibly not enough water? liquid fert could be too strong at one point? Maybe wind burn? It doesn't look diseased or sick to me & should pull through just fine. I wouldn't even bother misting & just water the dirt. Put a bit of slow release plant food around the base too. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theuserformallyknownasd00d Posted May 8, 2013 Id also use powerfeed mate. This is my first year with my girls big enough for the outdoors, but are looking quite similar because of the cold I assume. If you shelter her well and try to keep it warmish, come spring you'll be fine and growing again. Wait for more experienced growers, but I think you'll be ok.

joeyromacus Posted May 8, 2013 Cheers for the advice. I just had to check the bottle but turns out what I got from a previous housemate actually turned out to be powerfeed It's definitley not windburn. I know this for sure. She's been in a sheltered position. If it's dieback that's cool. I moved her inside a couple of days ago next to a bright window for the winter. Hoping the growth keeps up just a little bit.
