rotten avonia alstonii a note.

I didn't expect it....she has no respect on me at all,just die suddenly whatever she want.

The leaves are growing and the tubers also become bigger and bigger.
AND THEN SHE ROT.BIG ONE NO LESS.
Burrow caudex for 3/5, if i borrow is shallower i may have chance to spot it earlier.

the main reason is she still growing normally  and vigorously . so i pay very little care to her.


Front side any one will think she is healthy and well.
EXCEPT A SMALL AREA OF DARKEN LEAF AND FALLEN LEAF.

 dig it up. pull it and 2/5 of caudex came off,all mess up.

Saving life Cutting leg. I cut her in to half.
The center is hollow,it seems like the rot is originated from the cavity.

Another side.The deep color rigen of rotten is connect to cavity.
Did the infection lurk in cavity and suddenly reactivated and eat the way out?
I will never know.

The problem is the color of flash is weird,i can't tell whether it's infected or still healthy. they look suspiciously ambiguous.
Top one is cut from the mid point should be healthy.
Botten one is roten.
But the middle one i can;t sure is it infected or still healthy.

A piece of rotten caudex. Look totally legit on this side.

fuck

so i am left with half of caudex and Hundreds of small stem segment.

use them for cuttling hope they will root and grow.
