[Don Gin and Ton]

ok so i have this houseplant and i have no idea what's going on with it looks like black spots on the leaves and it seems to be slowly working its way round killing off leaves. there's still loads of new growth, but i'm quite attached to it n don't want it to die.

anyone got any ideas ???

calcium or magnesium perhaps..

Well I would go with Phosphorus deficiency due to soil being compacted,
with out feeling the leave because it could be a fungal thing going on.

phosphorus def hmm im wondering if i should give her some A+B see if she perks up

I bet she would love a bigger pot and some new compo dose the water drain straight out of her?

well im a little further its a The braided bonsai money plant tree, also known as Pachira aquatica

calcium would make lots of small brown spots or magnesium makes it light green perhaps..

bigger pot. i like the stem lol.

A new pot Id go with

hmmm apparently they dont need a lot of soil and i did pot up relatively recently ( it was an expensive pot too ) so im loathed to pot her up. i think i might try and clone it and have a go at the braiding bit myself

You can cut the old growth off to encourage new growth and its a tree so needs a deep pot.Also Iv read it dont need a lot of water.

 

[Don Gin and Ton]

yeah i was thinking if i pot her up she could go bananas it is the lower parts of the canopy maybe its just the plants way of culling old growth, there aren't any marks on the new shoots

[Don Gin and Ton]

You need tropical sun and warmth for flowers is my bet.

I have a snake plant (aka mother-in-law's tongue. It flowered one year when I set it outside for the summer. Weird, stinky, but beautiful.

yeah thats what i was thinking i might put it in the tent under the hps for a bit when i next have a chance...

i was round a pals the other day and they have the bigger version of the same and it has similar black spots, i think its fairly normal?!?!
