hmmmmm.....it may survive but in 100% sand where would the nutrients be coming from? I think it better to deal with the anthracnose by spraying it than sticking to the sand growing theory. Also....doesn't anthracnose come from the air/humidity? How will growing it in sand change it's ability to fend off that disease?

MDog

did you sterilize the cutter .. with each cut??? ... .. why do you presume the A is only on black tissue????.. see the conundrum?????

how do you know you didnt just spread the problem around ...

the sand is irrelevant.. at this point ... who cares about nutrients... i THINK.. you afater a water management media .... yes??? .. no????

it either recovers from the A... or it dies ...

if it recovers.. you repot it into sterilized media ... in a sterilized pot... etc ..

NEVER fert a stressed plant... its sick..not hungry .... so what difference is the media as far as nutrients ... we arent addressing hunger at this point ....

if this is just a seed from a fruit you ate... i would get rid of it ... and go find another fruit to eat.. and start over ...

its worth trying.. to learn ... but if its a lost cause.. be done with it.. and start over ... and insure you arent infecting other plants in the area ......

if you paid money for it.. try harder.. lol ...
