Hi everyone, Hi from Brussels (Belgium),
I love the previous posts on this forum and especially
@Plantlove8's journey with
@Gina1960 help, so I'm hoping for a miracle with perhaps a little help from you guys? I'm in Belgium and pretty much a beginner. I do have a few adult Monstera's that I take cuttings from, they root in water, and I swap them. Always works easily.
HOWEVER!!!!!
Since about 10 days I have 4 cuttings from the rare and crazy pricey (I should not have spend that money
) of the Monstera Adansonii Variegated. I put them in water.
And within 3 days, drama! All 4 cuttings were - I think - burned in the harsh sun one day. I was out at work for a long day and found them like this, with black parts on the green parts that are supposed to do all the photosynthesising :-/ The white part weren't harmed, but I'm well aware they contribute little to the plant's wellbeing. These burns are especially problematic for baby I and baby II, which have to so far best developed roots (yet, no root growth whatsoever since the cutting from mom... Some rotted roots already cut.)
EVEN WORSE: Baby III and baby IV already started to rot and I tried to do surgery. One was rotted in the stem became a wet stick. Baby III still has a good leaf. I can't cut any further cut and they keep rotting.
CURRENT CONDITIONS: They are now where the sun can't directly get to them, but 16h a day 1 meter away from a professional growth lamp. Humidity is consistently +70%.
Could you please give me some insights as to what to do to save my precious babies? Thanks so much!!!
