so as many of you can prob remember, iv been battling a case of infestation on my giant ceph from purpman, Since the start of winter or earlier
iv come 2 the conclusion its mealy bug because it hasn't migrated 2 other plants and its not streaky Grey lines such as the thrips damage
i recently re-potted it from its original sized pot 2 a larger clean slushy cup 2 allow for more growth and better root mass, prob 2 weeks ago
its showed no signs of growth and is dramatically deteriorating over time, many of its leaves has browned and rotted or are just continually fighting this white fuzz that continually reappears
iv been very discrepant with water thinking it could be root rot but nothing, also iv been using defender with Lil success ( it does disappear but reacure within no time)
i was slightly misslead before winter thinking some plants could grow all year not giving them any rest, causing for funny growth and many non carnivorous leaves ( also the ceph is growing many of its prehistoric or primitive leaves although small very unique looking)
the plants which I'm noticing are struggling are my ceph of-coarse and also my multifida extreme, this plant looks like its having a hard time no dew on leaves and not even fully rolling out?? i know its cause of my neglect to let it sleep or else my super low light levels
any words of wisdom or secrets 2 success here, id absolutely hate 2 loose this plant iv been doing everything i can for it recently, iv got it close 2 a window trying to get it 2 rest a bit though the low light days were having, since all other plants are in the setup witch is specifically heated for my lowlander nep, I'm going to buy new lights when i find the right ones and also prob design a good outdoor setup this year again since last years worked so well it seems
details on others grow setups (containing cephs)would be appreciated eg.. temp day/night, humidity, water type/Ph/ photo period the basics and also light type maybe
and the pics( before winter)
NOW
its definitely sickly and i just dont know what 2 do anymore i know the conditons for it are wrong and thats prob the cause of it
