Gloriosa drying up!

Post by aykhan »

If you've seen the pictures I posted recently you can tell my gloriosa were doing quite well. Blooming in two months from tubers. However, two of them have dried up completely! A third doesn't look too good. No evidence of disease and I water it as I should, not too much and never too dry for too long. Any ideas?

I saw the leaves and they were not wilted but just turned black and then turned crispy and died. I guess it was not pest but a disease related to tubers of gloriosa kind.

Are you talking about my plants. Mine were in pots and all three pots plants behaved the same way. Some did not flower at all.

Brig saheb mine have done well and flowered also but then just dried up. I haven't dug up the tubers to check how they are. Have you checked your tubers? If they are fine it might be a normal pattern for gloriosa?

Evidence suggests that many patients hospitalized with HF are discharged too early, before meeting criteria described in Section 7 <a href=http://buycialis.beauty>can you buy cialis online</a>
