| I've got a situation where my plant is dying from the ground up. Blight,right? Here's how I thought I'd deal with it. The plant is still in the same gallon container that it came in when I got it and I've been meaning to pot it up when I could get the time to get supplies,so assuming the whole thing isn't yellow by the time I can do it I intend to bury the blighted part completely beneath the soil level.
Good idea?

| Wow, I am no expert in diseases, but I would get it out of that gallong pot ASAP. That is probably the cause of your difficulties. Good luck. |

| Blight,right? Wrong. LOL The plant is yellow b'c it's still sitting in thje original container. Get it out of there and plants inground or a much bigger container and all will be well/ When plants are rootbound they can't get enough nutirents and oxygen and so the folaige turns yuellow. Blight to most folks means an infection of some kind or another. Carolyn |

| COOL! As soon as i can get to it i'll find a way to improve on my sad situation. I'd pop em in the ground if I hadn't heard that the soil here is so bad. Mostly clay from what i'm hearing. That's bad,right? |

| Even planting in clay is better than leaving it in the current pot. |
