leafs question

Hi Everyone,


here are some pictures of new plants i just ordered and received last week. they were 4 plants in the shipment. 2 of them are great and made it here well - it seems.

However two other plants have some wilting/black spots of the leafs and i wonder if its a problem i should speak with the vendor about or its just normal following shipping, re potting etc
1st pic - all 4 plants
2nd &3rd pics are - Sals EL
4th & 5th pics are - Genoa white

i will appreciate greatly any advice/help

thank you, eli

Hi theman,


I would get them in the shade and water them when needed!

They look Great/ok to me, and I would not be too quick to fertilize.

Others may say differently.

2nd and 3rd pix looks like sun damange. 4th and 5th pix looks like it's wilting. i would do what cecil said above.

i heard too much water or too little will both look same, sort of drooping/wilting look. 4th and 5th looks like that.

Thank you for the comments

I had them in the shade for the first 3 days and then i placed them under the sun thinking they were fine and made the transition smoothly.
The two with the bad leafs where received like that, only 24hrs after they were shipped (although i had been using some fertilizer and i am watering them daily as its very hot). the vendor had told me that they can go under full sun as i think he was doing prior to shipment

sorry - the plants were received at my place july 6th - so 2 weeks ago

they had been in full sun, 30+ c for 9 days now

you still think they need going back for additional shade? if so, how long?

try putting the plants where it will get partial sun. after i repotted my trees, i placed the tress under the shade for two full weeks then placed them on north east side of my house where they get about 4hrs of morning sun, then another 3 hrs of evening sun. this way, it will not get afternoon sun which suck the moisture out of leave, or cause sun damage. after about 2 weeks of that i put the tress in full sun.

also try to see if the soil is too wet or not. at 30 + C, i'm sure soil should be getting dried quickly, but if it's retaining water and you are giving more water everyday, it might damage the root. my soil more or less drains in a day. so i know i have to water everyday.

 From my own experiences.
First off dont worry about those leaves .


You mention this
sorry - the plants were received at my place july 6th - so 2 weeks ago

they had been in full sun, 30+ c for 9 days now
 
 
Unless i read post wrong -
 
So you had them in full sun for 9 days ?
 
What im trying to say if you had them in full sun for 9 days and they could not handle it you would be talking about how there dead.  After second day they would have no longer been standing erect.
 
If thats the case leave them in full sun.

yes martin - you read it right

after the first 2-3 days, once i saw they were doing well (except those bad leafs which were shipped to me in this shape), i placed them in full sun for well over a week....
they seem fine otherwise and even grew some small fruits - which i had removed few days ago, having read some of the other feedback given to others

perfect then - i wont worry about the bad burned leafs

thank you all

i sure hope so alan.....and thank you.

in any event, if its only sun burn i guess i can live with it...i was worried its more then that. the 4th picture has even one small young leafs of only few days and it has some of those burning marks as well.

no - it seems to be what we had been calling sun burn if i understood correctly

it just occur to me that i can also post these couple of pictures from the day i got the plants, well before i placed them in the sun (although the vendor did)

not sure if it makes any difference in the diagnosis
thanks, eli

Pics are there now!  I don't see a problem, really.  All of the new growth looks good.  The other looks like assorted heat/weather damage.
