We have been patiently nurturing this baby for at least 6 months now. Knew it as a stone etc....
any ideas what is wrong with it?
I have two avocado plants, grown from the same stone about four month’s old. One of them looked just like yours so I just pulled the leaves off. It’s now doing just fine apart from having three leaves less than its twin.
Show it this - it'll either die of fright or try to prove you wrong!!
Thanks Mave, very encouraging. Will perform major surgery later..
Tim - good back up plan ;D
It looks as tho' the leaves have been wet or damp and then scorched (sun/wind), are they on a windowsill or extreme area? My avodados are doing really well, nothing on them........ ;)
That is my avocados are doing well, the avodados are a figment of my imagination!!! ::)
they were on a south facing window ledge, so maybe a culprit of cold night then super hot day in the sunshine - was 22 degrees on the ledge the other day when I checked the thermometor. Have moved it from the direct sunlight and seems to be abit happier and has started to sprout a couple of new leaves.
Thanks as ever guys ;D ;D
