Question

N. chaniana ?N. veitc   Allexperts,

I had a N. chaniana ?N. veitchii outside for the summer, and the leaves began to turn brown.   I have the plant in a ceramic bowl.  I have a picture of the plant attached to the email.  What should I do? Should I bring the plant inside? I did clip away the brown leaves on the plant (see photo).  Thank you for your time.   

SIncerely,

Weylin Callery

Answer
Hi Weylin,

It looks like you gave it too much sun, too fast.  The damage is already done with the burnt leaves, but newer leaves emerging will be stronger.  Just give it more shade until it adapts to being outside.  If you bring it inside, you'll need to leave it inside since the new leaves will be softer again.  Just give it a bit more shading outdoors and give it time.  I little fertilizer would be of benefit now.

Good Growing!
