Zamioculcas zamiifolia may be propagated by leaf cuttings: typically, the lower ends of detached leaves are inserted into a moist, gritty growing medium, and the pot is enclosed in a polythene bag. Though the leaves may well decay, succulent bulb-like structures should form in the bag, and these may be potted up to produce new plants.
While these plants are relatively low maintenance, it’s not unusual for peace lily leaves to turn yellow here and there due to stress, pests, or other issues. This guide explains the most common ...
Symptoms of nitrogen deficiencies in plants is general chlorosis of the leaves, which is when leaves turn pale green, and leaves cup upwards quite severely in deficient plants. [4] Nitrogen deficiencies also cause leaves to remain small, and drop prematurely, resulting in less photosynthesis occurring in the plant, and fewer, smaller tubers can ...
An albino corn plant with no chlorophyll (left) beside a normal plant (right) In botany, chlorosis is a condition in which leaves produce insufficient chlorophyll.As chlorophyll is responsible for the green color of leaves, chlorotic leaves are pale, yellow, or yellow-white.
Papaya Lethal Yellowing Virus (PLYV) is an isometric viral plant pathogen, tentatively assigned to the genus Sobemovirus, [1] that causes lethal yellowing disease of the papaya plant. [ 2 ] The virus infects only Carica papaya , Jacaratia heterophylla , J. spinosa , Vasconcellea cauliflora , V. monoica and V. quercifolia , all from the papaya ...
Plant senescence is the process of aging in plants. Plants have both stress-induced and age-related developmental aging. [1] Chlorophyll degradation during leaf senescence reveals the carotenoids, such as anthocyanin and xanthophylls, which are the cause of autumn leaf color in deciduous trees. Leaf senescence has the important function of ...
In brassicas, leaves are blue-green in color and may have a low degree of interveinal chlorosis. Scorching along the outside edges of leaves is common, and leaves are often tough in texture due to slow growth. In tomatoes, the stems are woody and growth is slow. Leaves are blue-green in color, and the interveinal area often fades to a pale gray ...
A plant that loses all of its leaves only briefly before growing new ones, so that it is leafless for only a short time, e.g. approximately two weeks. bristle A straight, stiff hair (smooth or with minute teeth); the upper part of an awn (when the latter is bent and has a lower, stouter, and usually twisted part, called the column ).
