The pomp 69 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 Hi guys want to know what could the problem be. The stems of this Durban poison just Al of a sudden started to turn purple. I'm growing it outdoor with Epson salt; kelp; bone meal and molasses all I did whas I removed a few leaves that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted yesterday at 07:32 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:32 AM How's it? Purple petiole can be the natural coloring, or due to the cold. The most common cause is a deficiency of calcium. Do you have burnt leaf tips too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twix Aphen Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago If it was natural coloring then it wouldn't appear overnight. A cold snap of weather could trigger it, but it wouldn't just show up on the leaf stem. That is the early sign of a nutrient deficiency. Your plant needs more calcium brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twix Aphen Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Burning along the leaf margin is also a sign of its progression. Some of your leaves are burning along the edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The pomp 69 Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago But doesn't the molasses take care of the calcium because itt does contain calcium and it's the only one from 8 plant that's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
