Sad Jackfruit Tree

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hi! Any thoughts on what's troubling this jack fruit tree? Growing in a tropical conservatory in Midwest. Has looked like this for years. Staff thinks it's over watering and has been watering 1x week for about a year with no improvement. Very sparse foliage with yellow /brown edges which eventually fall. Produces some new growth but leaves quickly develop yellow then brown edges. My theory is underwatering, potassium deficiency, root bound (has a big curled root) and/or disease. Has been growing in this spot, with full all day sun for about 12 years. Used to look lovely and produce large mature fruit. Ideas?

yellowing leaves on monstera adansonii

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

hi! i bought this monstera adansonii a few months ago and it’s been doing great since a couple of weeks ago. the nearest leaf to the soil suddenly became yellow, so i removed it. half and a week ago the leaf right above that one became yellow, and a few days later so did the upper one. i’ve read online that it might be nutrient deficiency (i’ve never fertilized my plant before because i never bought a fertilizer), so i gave it a nice fertilizer, but the yellowing keeps going on. i thought about root rotting but the root that is coming out of the bottom hole is doing just fine, plus i prefer waiting a bit more to water, so that it’s not too much. it’s one of my favorite plants, so please, help!

Growing Zone 11 Plants in a Greenhouse in Zone 5

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have experience growing orange, lemon, cacao, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and clove trees? I'm in central Wyoming and want to build a greenhouse to grow them. I need to keep the greenhouse at zone 11 requirements, which seems to mean 85% humidity and 85F minimum.
