[Aroid-l] the symptom of overfertilized Amorphophallus?

From: <ju-bo at msn.com> on 2009.06.10 at 09:30:58 Dear Andras=2C I am NOT an expert=2C but when I used to grow aquatic aroids=2C they used to suffer "leaf burn''=2C and I was told that the man-made granular AND some liquid fertilizers which contain ''salts'' were the main cause of this problem. =3B I was given some liquid fertilizers with a low-salt content=2C and advised to use them in a weak mix more frequently=2C and to allow rain to 'flush'' the soil as often as possible=2C I also used OLD cow manure and WEAK mixes of fish emulsion fertilizer=2C this certainly improved the leaf burn situation. =3B Perhaps you need to reduce the amount of fertilizer you use? I hope that this may work for you.

Hi All=2C Thanks you for the responses. Let's see the answers: - Sun burning and "peeling" - what means a type of mechanical damage (As I am correct) - Over fertilization. Because all my plants are inside the flat and none of them are in front of the window=2C the sun burst isn't my problem. As I know there was no mechanical damage=2C too. But I fertalized my plants a lot=2C so it seems to be the real problem. Thank you again Agoston and Scott!
