If you believe that every plant is a living organism then you'd also believe you could talk to them, do you? I do.
I usually sweet talk all of my plants specially the berries to encourage them to fruit a lot and trust me, they do.
If only, a translating engine that speaks for plants has already been invented so we could hear them talk, I'd definitely buy one. However, I'd probably freak out if a plant or two inside my house would suddenly scream out of pain or whine because I came short at providing them something or actually overdid it.
Unfortunately, plants can't talk and they could only do their own sign language.
Among the dozen of avocado plants I'm growing inside my house, this one's the one I talk to the most and the oldest. It has always looked so healthy, radiant and its leaves have never had any problem compared to the rest which would brown every time the temperature drops till I went on the thermal bath escapade with hubby.
Since we slept in the hotel during those days, we turned the heating off so I let it sit under the glass ceiling in the kitchen where the sun could peer hoping it would be warm enough. The rest just sat on their usual place. I came back home and found this with scorched leaf tips .
At first, I thought it's because it had been sunny that day and the glass must have burned it but a week later more leaves got scorched and it's not just their tip but I woke up to a leaf or two - burned to crispiness of the ash of a vampire that's been exposed to the sun.
I asked whether I should water it more because I only give it water every four days since it's winter and I actually moved it to a nook far from direct sunlight but bright enough so its chefs could still cook enough food for itself but the scorched tips seem to continue and two of its leaves have started getting brown spots, too.
The other younger avocado plants are also suffering from the usual browning spots of the leaves but they're just shedding those leaves off and bearing healthy looking - new sprouts the moment they fall off them.
This one's case is different because I just wake up to one of the new sprouts looking all crispy scorched the next day as if something has burned it overnight.
What could I be doing wrong? .. or not doing at all that should actually be done to help it get off its agony? Should I put some fertilizer on it? Which one?
I already plucked 5 of its leaves off just incase its any viral infection am not aware of but it still seems to continue and I'm getting worried because I really want this one to grow healthy be it fruit or not just because I already got attached to it like I used to back then, to all the pets I had before.
Unfortunately, I don't speak avocado so no amount of asking it about what could be wrong on a daily basis - would ever give me an answer so I've decided to ask you instead.
Do you speak avocado? Could you please play doctor for my dear plant and help me salvage it for whatever is tormenting it silently? ... and I thank you already ^ __ ^ .
