Frostbite Victims...calling SCU !
Hi Everyone...
Thought I would start a new thread that may help a few of us Antipodeans out during our lovely cold winter. We have had a partucilarly BAD one in Auckland this year, with many plants succumbing to Mr. Jack Frost's frequent and very "sneaky" visits. I have sadly lost a few babies and prize plants (due to being away from home for ONE night only...yes, major bad luck I might add)...and I'm still getting over it. The carnage is now very evident...a bit like collecting broms made of cardboard and wet newspaper...yuk.
Anyway, can we have some suggestions as to the "best treatment" of a brom after it has been "hit" - both minor burns (1-2 leaves or small patches) and serious "nuking" all over - ie 80-90% DEAD apart from leaf bases etc.
I'm particulary interested in Neos and Alcs re this, but any advice for other genera (if different ?) is also welcome...
Some questions that will hopefully start discussion...
1. Prune or not prune the dead leaves ?
2. What is the best methods to get pups sprouting from burn victims ?
3. Should we feed to them NOW to encourage pupping, or wait till it's warmer ?...if so, what type/method/strength of fertiliser works best in this situation ?
4. Repot or leave alone ?
5.....anything else to consider ?
Cheers
Graeme
