Toothache herbs keep dying
« on: July 28, 2015, 03:46:15 AM »
I've grown several of these for a few months. They all get to a certain point and then start browning and drying up. Some of the older dead ones look like they have spider mite webs. I read that they don't like overwatering. What else would cause this? Anyone have any advice for general growing of this plant? I'll post some pictures in a little bit. Gotta go deal with a tomato situation lol.

Spider mites and overwatering are both issues with these guys. Full sun plants have a lot less issues long term than shade(although short term they look better in the greenhouse, more lush), that's about all my knowledge with these guys.

Sucks, but AU-OS trade isn't cost effective or reliable anymore. Aussie trade encouraged, especially for cactus, dragonfruit, and colour fruited columns.

They're long term under bright light. Not very large. A volunteer is growing vapidly in the same pot as Alicia anisopetala and gotu kola. Sort of an odd place.

I don't know if this helps but they do very well outside I have mine in full son sharing a four gallon pot with a tomato. The fully established plant I tried to keep indoors last winter did the same thing. Turned brown and dried. I will have lots of seed soon if you want some. Pretty cool plant. I like sticking the flowers on my gums.

I stopped watering one of them so much and it seems to be bouncing back. I have a lot of seeds still so i should be ok. Thanks for the offer though.

Watering this thing like a cactus seems to have worked :)

mine thootache's are still young and i keep them full shade and wet soil, w'd you recommend to move them step by step to partly shade and full sun, or to wait them to grow more and develope a strong system?
