Tropical Fruit Discussion / My pitomba is sad
« on: August 11, 2022, 06:38:21 PM »
I bought this from someone, shipped but sat in box for a week.  It seems to be getting a little worse. Leaves still soft but all curled.

Any advice?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Germinating tropicals in gro blocks
« on: June 23, 2022, 07:15:27 PM »
Wondering in anyone has used gro blocks used in hydro for germinating jaboticaba, annonas, eugenias, etc....

It would be in an enclosed aquarium for humidity and a grow light.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Pitangatuba fruit stopped growing
« on: October 22, 2021, 02:17:11 PM »
I have a pitangatuba that has had dozens of small fruit, around half the full size, for close to 2 months now.  I am not losing any of the fruit, there is no visible issues to the plant; in fact, I have tons of new growth that just started to appear about a week ago.

Any ideas what causes this or how to get it back to developing?  I am in zone 10, no change in watering, feeding, etc...  They just stopped growing.

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Garden app recommendations?
« on: September 10, 2021, 04:25:28 PM »
I have all kinds of tropicals and exotics.  I have kept a written list, archaic I know, and mentally check off when I need to bring some indoors for the night due to temperature or frost.

Is there an app that helps to manage this all and ideally has a weather widget so I will alert me on the days I am asleep at the wheel?

The ones I found from basic searches really don't have the garcinias, eugenias, etc... very much just your basic garden plants.

Thanks in advance for any help

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Not sure what's happening to new leaves on grumichama tree.
« on: April 18, 2021, 12:08:47 PM »
I've had this for a bit.  It has been a voracious grower this spring.  Suddenly, the new leaves look soft and hang down.  They have not started to die, as of now, and plenty of new growth coming.

Zone 10, water once every 5 or 6 days, it's in partial sun and has loved it to this point.   Tons of new growth, so seems healthy to me.
 
Any ideas?

Tropical Fruit Discussion / Jaboticaba leaves curling/drying up it seems.
« on: April 03, 2021, 01:05:40 PM »
I purchased a jaboticaba last weekend.  It is about 32" tall and was in 5 gallon pot. 

I got home, transplanted it into a 15 gallon pot.  Used organic potting soil, vermiculite,  and toss in some chicken manure.  I mixed it all very well and repotted it.  Watered it in solid.  The next day it was very low humidity and pot felt light, restored solidly.

The leaves furthest our seem to be curling up and almost getting dry.  Is this just shock from transplanting?  I'm in socal,  Thousand Oaks zone 10.

My first time with a jaboticaba and not really fluent in them.  Abid gardener here, permaculture enthusiast, and germinate most of my own stuff.

Thanks in advance for any help!!
