Ficus + greenhouse = brown leaves
We have a ficus of a small leaf variety. It was doing very well
indoors with tremendous growth. We moved it outside in a portable greenhouse. After two days there the part that was facing the sun is filled with brown leaves. The part that was away from the sun is fine. We put two sponges soaked in water and had the greenhouse closed. What caused the leaves to turn brown and what should I do now? Thanks. |

Normally, that's what I do to my figs every year: move them into full
sun too quickly and scorch them. Not this year, though. This year I got a late frost and froze all the leaves off. Nina. Don't worry- they're fine now. |

It is called sunburn and tropicals have very thin skin and need the gradual transition to full sun in the same manner as the palid skin of us humans after being in forced enclusure from our winter environs. ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Kevin Bailey++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
