itchybromusic Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 you need to really look at the plant , go through all branches looking for any bug or bug holes checking branches haven't broken away from the main trunk just to be sure its not an above ground problem but i suspect you have issues under the soil surface at the root system , might have to do some digging aroundgot anymore pic's & do you have a microscope / jewellers loupe to look at things close up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacleomum Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 Ok so why if its root rot are the other plants next to it fine? They have all been given same fertilizer etc. Unfortunately I leant my microscope to a friend. I will ask for it back and take a close look. How does it look with root rot would it kill it if I changed the soil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micmac Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 When branches die like that it's usually root rot Got nothing to do with fertiliser, the soil is too wet and not draining or way over watered No if that's what it is you can't fix it , isolate from others, try dry it out and hope for best Sent from my SM-J530Y using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybromusic Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 (edited) if it is root rot it's hard to recover from but not impossible being that your currently into the last half of the plants life cycle = flowering any repotting will mostly provide negative results , mainly because she is already hindered from her potential , repotting during flower will only be afurther hindrance to that potential root rot is a pathogen & is caused by over watering which your other plants in the back ground look to have that droopy leaf look like they are getting the same treatment because its a soil borne pathogen you could make a compost extract to try & out compete the pathogen with beneficial microbes but like a yellowing leaf on a plant , it will never go back to being green , same as a damaged root system it will never recover , the plant can grow newroots though but once again your already in the last half of the plants life cycle , not enough timeto really do much , some of us will cut our losses & save on fertilizer , time & effort & cull her Phytophthora root and stem rot is a soil-borne fungal disease caused by Phytophthora sojae. This pathogen causes seed rots, pre- and post emergence damping off of seedlings and stem rot of plants at various growth stages.Disease development is favored by soil temperatures above 60f and high soil moisture.
