Passion Flower leaf problem - help

10 years ago

Hello, I've been having a problem with the leaves on my Passion Flower for over a year. I'm hoping someone here can help. Thanks!

Details:

- Plant is inside under a 72" LED grow light. (Orchid Spectrum) on for 14 hours a day.

- Using MaxiBloom (5-15-14) and MaxiGro (10-5-14) fertilizer as directed on package

- Planted in 75% Coco 24% Organic soil

- Watering plant as soil dries out. (About once a week.) Using reverse osmosis water.

Some pictures:

Thanks in advance for you help!

It could be a virus. I don't know of any way to get rid of a virus, but the virus in P. 'Incense' doesn't seem to hurt the plant really.

Don't have an exact answer. Have a look at your soil ph, sometimes it cause leaves to turn.

Soil PH - good idea @tim45z10. I'll run out and grab a cheap tester and report back.

checked my PH and it's about 6.5. So that should be ok. I was using RO water with the minerals added back in so I'm not convinced it's still not a water and PH issue. I'm going to try using 50% RO and 50% tap water to see if this helps.
