Stonehenge Posted February 26, 2004 Why would he cut off the root if the root is good? You might cut off the dead part. I think the first thing is to correct conditions so that they don't die on you. Too much light is the likely culprit. Seedlings can't take direct sun and even indirect light can burn them. I've heard of floros burning them so sunlight is a no no. Get them out of the sun and if the soil and watering schedule is correct, I think you'll see an improvement in time. Remember that lophos can only take a little water now and then. Trichos are more water tollerant but don't like continually wet roots either. Stoney Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
