plants going bad
Something is going on with my plants.
They have been doing wonderful, blooming and really green. I have been busy all week at work and have not had time to go out to the pond except in the evenings and that just to throw some food in for the gang. Today I went out and I really have noticed all my plants have like a brown outline on the leaves, like their burnt? Anybody know whats going on? -- Priss http://priss31.tripod.com/SmallPond.html |

Aphids are teeny tiny little bugs that look
like tiny black dots on the plants. They really like water lettuce. I usually turn mine upside down to drown the pesky things and the fish like to eat them too.

Our aphids in Oklahoma are clearish white. They come out by the dozens and
almost smother the plants. |

Sorry been away Priss.....How old are the leaves...is it all of them or just
one or two....what kind of leaves just lilies or all plants....... What have you added to the water or plants.... With all the rain could it be washing in from the surrounding area I will check the answers tonight or tomorrow....bugs will not turn the edges brown....sounds like some type of burn. Aphids suck juices and the evidence that shows up from them is paleness or streaking. By the way aphids come in many different colors. Jerri http://www.fringeweb.com/Ponds/JerrisPond |

What kind of plants are you talking about? I had this problem with water
hyacinth last year and lost them all, but my other plants were fine. "Jeannette" Jeannette@ hotmail.com wrote in message ... "Priscilla McCullough" said thusley:...

I was speaking mostly of my watter lettuce,
but aphids get on just about everything. The aphids we have here are small black bugs. They look like little dots on the plants. Jeannette "sara1" wrote in message ...

Slightly OTT but the title of this thread reminds me of SKY TV here in England. Sky our satellite provider has programmes that `Normal` tv doesn`t with titles like `When elephants go bad` or `When tv stunts go bad`. You know, the sort that have an american announcer in the deepest voice you`ve ever heard! Well we have a new one now ........... ................`When Plants go bad!`............... -- SEE YER..
