Psychotria Nexus problem
« on: May 29, 2018, 02:06:13 AM »

Hey Sexy Seedians,

               I am really sad because I thought my P.Nexus plants were looking bad because

I had them inside all winter with the dry heat but even outside in this beautiful weather they

still look terrible the leaves look all bubbly and also as is they are being eaten by some microscopic

insect I cant seem to find.  Even all the new growth is looking bad I have a few pictures maybe someone

can help me out.  Hope all is well with everyone.

Love you all
Gnosis

Dunno if it is a contributing factor, but for what it's worth I've never grown Psychotrias in terra cotta pots. Always plastic.

Might make a difference if the roots consistently dry out too much.

Stressing a plant like that often results in increased secondary alkaloid production.

Looks like the new leaf at the top of the plant in the last picture is coming out un-deformed. It might just grow out of that phase.

Yeah, the bubbly-leaves look to me like they were just too dry, which may be due to having been indoors. I'd just hose them down a couple times a week and see if the new growth looks better.

btw... Nice to see you around, gnosis! I hope you're doing well. :-)

The p.alba plant at my dads never gets watered unless i go over there, and it gets those bubbly leaves when im away for to long.
