[IBC] Growing a Sequoia

In a message dated 3/21/03 8:53:40 AM, writes: for the first few weeks and then all of a sudden the leaves dry up and the plant dies (usually they grow to a height of 2"/5cm before drying up). This sounds like "damp off" a generic name for a number of fungus diseases that attack seedlings. What are you using for soil? I use pure horticultural vermiculite to fight this. Since the vermiculite is inorganic it doesn't support the pathogen. You could also try sterilizing the soil by baking it for a while at 300 F or so. But, this makes the house and oven smell of dirt. Hmm..that's one I didn't think of..! Thanks Billy! ;-) |
