once a week i will put a packet of the Miracle Grow singles into a 3 gallon watering can and water my plants. i have 4 plants. the larger one gets half the container, and the 4 smaller ones each get a quarter of what remains.
once a month, i will use fish nitro and hold on to my pants... that shit makes them explode with pods(and grow in size) but it makes the yard smell like death.
green tea might not be your best bet... i tried coffee grinds from my local starbucks and it caused mushrooms to grow quite often. switched back over to normal soil and nada. didnt notice any growth, but i did notice an abnormal amount of bugs feeding off the leaves. also the water that drained out stained everything because it was basically coffee...
stick to traditional methods. you will probably get the best results that way.
Hi all,
Here is some more info on the plant:
I received this plant at the end of winter (March maybe?) and placed in on our back porch. At the time it was dormant and had been cut back to the stems. My fiance's father has kept these plants outdoors in Northern VA year round by cutting them back this way every fall and allowing them to go dormant over winter. Anywho, we took the plant back home with us (zone 7b, Durham NC) and it started sprouting and growing within a week or two. It really took off and seemed very happy. I rarely watered it, just allowing the rain to water it. It seemed to love the hot humid summer and started growing many blooms. At that point I figured maybe it could use just a touch of fertilizer so I added some of this once. Shortly after that, I figured it was hot summer time I should give it a little extra water here and there with the hose. So I began occasionally watering it when I was watering the other plants in my yard. From there everything started to go bad.
The blooms stopped and the plant began to grow these sickly looking leaves with speckling on them. I also noticed some small webs on the plant and thought maybe it has a spider mite infestation. I only saw a couple of webs so I am undecided on this. I cleared the webs from the plant so I do not have a picture. Yesterday, I trimmed the plant back of many of the sickly looking branches and I was considering repotting today. I am wondering if the roots are staying too wet. It lives on the back porch and we have no gutters so the water pours off the back of the house and lands in the pot. We had some rains a few days ago and yesterday I checked the pot and it feels quite wet still. Should I go ahead and repot the plant or will that stress it even more?
Hmmm...I'm 5b and at least have a few flowers on some (One tiny little Thai Dragon as of yesterday!), but a bunch are still holding out. Planted in February, so about 6 months in. Did you use any miracle grow, fish fertilizer, etc?
To add to what everyone else is saying... do you add any nutrients to your water or soil? My wife does a fair bit of gardening and has all kinds of liquid nutrient or fish fertilizer for her plants. The numbers X-X-X are the nutrient breakdown.
It does sound like nitrogen deficiency.
