crinckled leaves

17 years ago

Do crinckled leaves mean I have over fertlized my brugs. A couple of mine are developing crinkled leaves...they are Sunray, Double Peach, and Adeline. Everybody keeps saying to fertilize so I have been socking it too them. I would send a pic....but I'll have to learn to resize day after tomorrow.

    joebat could they have aphids or any other bugs? Usually the leaves kind of curl in ...or some virus' could give them a crinckled look. But that ALL of those would have the same virus at the same time in my Humble opinion is most likely not realistic.

    throw out a big photo lol In cases like that a photo is the only way to try to pin point what is really wrong with your brugs.

    Just shower them off for now. Even UNDERneath the leaves. The only way I fight bugs...besides taking off the leaves roflmao

    My Sang does that...My hubby tested the soil and the ph is REALLY high...I'm going to repot it in the next couple days...Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but mine does NOT have any bugs, so it has to be a nutrient or something wrong with the soil its in.

    Just my 2cents worth..lol

    I have others that are not showing crinckled leaves. Just regular flat leaves. I was just wondering if any brugs have crinckled leaves. We did have a tidal surge here in Galveston last year when IKE made landfall. Most of the live oaks in town did not make it. I'll check into recizing photos tonight.

    I have never seen any with crinkled leaves unless they have some sort of bug. They have ones with serrated leaves. Sometimes they can get funny looking when they just go outside after being indoors and the next set of leaves will be normal. How much fertilizer have you been giving? If you use it every day it has to be at a weak dose. You can try mixing it up at bit and swap around like fish emulsion, kelp/seaweed along with the miracle grow then once they form a Y switch to bloom booster. I guess it would be possible to overfertilize if you are giving massive doses like every other day. A regular dose once a week or a daily weak dose should be enough I would think. I have a hard enough time with the once a week, lol.

    joebat the edges look burned to me. But I am not a pro at all. What kind of fertilizer do you use and how often and strong? I think Barb might have hit it that it is stress for the plant to make it because the Enviornment is not right for the brugs. could be that those that have it...can not handle it as good as the ones that do not show any signs like that.
