Adenium leaf burn help...

10 years ago

Recently I over added some liquid fertilizer to a few of my Adenium plants i have, about 6-8 months old. over the course of the next few days I got some burn marks on my leaves. Usually when this happens I just let the leaves grow out. Not all the leaves burned just one or two on each plant. I decided I didn't want to look at the burn marks anymore and this evening I took the leaves off. I do this all the time with my house plants. (even though I am overwintering my adeniums inside under LEDs I don't consider them a house plant, I guess this would depend on where you live though.) My question is, will taking off those leaves cause shock to my plants or do you think it's fine and that it wont affect the growth that much? These are my adeniums arabicums I have in soil medium. The over fertilization didn't affect my seedlings or my A. somalense tanzanias, even though they drank from the same bottle. Maybe this is because they are in a faster stage of growth? I really want to see my plants get big like the ones I see on this forum. I have a lot of adeniums now. My oldest are in the 6-8 month old range. Which is why I felt so compelled to give them nutes. I want big mature plants like the ones you all have! My hydro ones are doing amazing though. Just added some nutes with a zero nitrogen and more P-K to their reservoir and they've been looking amazing since this morning!
