OK, I need help, big time. This winter has been really hard on my plants in the greenhouse and in the house. I can understand the greenhouse problem but the one I am going to show you has me completely at a loss. The houseplants (some of the spiders only) are showing signs of distress and damage on the new growth coming out. The new growth is in some cases not opening and turning brown, others are turning brown after the leaves open on the very tip. What would be doing that?
I know I am using water that is coming through a softener but up until this year that never bothered them and I have not changed my watering habits.
I also know that light can do this but they have not changed their positions in the room.
I have not changed a thing except they had a rough winter with very little sunshine due to the weather. I had inside lights but only the regular overhead. Windows are around two walls and they are all at the same place they were last year. These plants are showing to me, a lack of sunshine being the only thing I can think of. We had a month in February of almost no sun at all. This room gets only morning sun and sometimes the sun did not shine until afternoon and that is the only thing that was different. Any suggestions? I am praying I do not loose them.
This is what some look like now.
Their color is faded also. The second picture if you look from left to right you will see the brown stem between the third and fourth green stem is all brown and never opened.
Looking forward to your input and suggestions.
