andrewwei Posted August 3, 2020 Report Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi I have been growing two pots of mature sized cobra lilies since March in London and they have been thriving both on my balcony or windowsill, produced half sized mature stolons. But ever since around July the new leafs on the smaller one begin to blacken, then the entire plant begin to soften and collapse. I would have thought that survived the heat wave. Now there is no sign of growing and i can't seem to find pest, which I was thinking it could be spider mites. (above)this is before they started collapsing and dying: new leaves are tall and healthy. I was quite amazed by how fast they grow. (above) this is few days after. I have very occasionally put ice in the water tray, and tried to top it with cool water. I thought I could have shocked the entire plants. (above)These two are the mother plants now, which both have stopped growing too. There was at least two stolons on each plants and they have died too... see picture below which was taken a month ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voinicel Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 Is it difficult to get rid of pests yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Releaseone Posted June 4, 2022 Report Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Even if you can't find pests, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Some pest species are so small that it is impossible to see them without a microscope. Usually, you can find out about the appearance of pests through the appearance of the flower. My wife loves flowers, so we have a lot of flowers at home. Flowers are great for pest living. There were pests in our house because of the flowers, but I quickly got rid of them when I turned to https://ajverminatorpestcontrol.com/ and not in vain. These guys are real professionals who get the job done quickly and efficiently. Edited June 6, 2022 by Releaseone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenofeden Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 it looks like it has dried out, or got too warm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted June 11, 2022 Report Share Posted June 11, 2022 These much prefer to at least spend summer outdoors and kept wet all the time. As others noted, looks like they dried out at some point (air inside can get very dry). I do keep some in one of my greenhouses that can often be over 40°C and in my opinion temperature is less of an issue than humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
