Help! Yellow leaves :(

11 years ago

last modified: 11 years ago

Can anyone tell me how to help this dying oriental lily? It is planted in the same bed as other healthy ones. The bottom leaves started falling off, then they are turning colors. I feel like it is not a light issue, and it gets watered and fed. Not sure what it is. A month ago I lost another one that did the same thing.

ok.. i looked on google , it seems its 'basal rot', a fungus called fusarium. the advice is to remove and destroy infected plants :( . and the fungus can stop in the soil for 4 years.

Aww, so sad. It makes sense though because I had another one die of the same thing early on in planting. This one has buds on it though :-/.

pick it... put it in a vase so you can enjoy the flower but deal with the disease.
