Hello, wondering if anyone had any advice for care or could diagnose the status of my double cleft graft experiment:
- this is a Nabal and Hass double graft
- located in bay area, (hasnt been that cold but I keep it indoors anyways)
- root stock in 30 gallon cloth pot (not super well draining soil, but I try not to overwater it and give it a hydrogen peroxide solution once in awhile to fight off root rot)
- grafted on January 15, along with a few other T and Chip bud experiments lower on trunk (I dont think any took)
- removed plastic bag, plastic tape around graft and rubber band today, February 28
The Hass scion had some buds that started growing, you can see from the photos the slight progress. But I noticed the leaves started turning brown and dropping off. I also saw some dark/black mold growing on the Nabal scion. I was wondering if maybe the bag was getting too moist inside, so I just removed it to inspect, but not sure if I should re-seal it or just leave it open. I was wondering if it would help to give it a mild diluted hydrogren peroxide spray to treat the mold spots?
Note: I did attempt to give it a little avocado/citrus fertilizer about 2 weeks ago. It was labelled 5-2-6, I suspect that might have been an issue, any thoughts?
Thanks so much for any advice or tips!
PS the bushy growth next to this graft was a successful Zutano chip bud graft about a year ago. That one seems to have no problem thriving, although some leave did start burning at the tips, but still healthy!
