Plants

Some of my beloved chillie plants are getting strange leaves. The leaves look a bit crippled (sorry for the word).

Do you have any idea why this is happening and how to fix it?
I've already checked for pests such as small flies but couldn't find any.

It is a response to stress so agree with JimmyB's reply that it could be any of the normal stress inducers for a plant.

At a glance in the picture the mixture in the pot is very dark so is either very wet or likely not what I'd expect as a normal potting mix. That pot also seems small for the size of plant.

@RonjaBiernat @gardening @homegrownfood @plants I'm not an expert, but I've had similar distortion on other types of plant occasionally. In my case, it seems to happen after the temperature in our greenhouse has got too high. There is also mosaic virus, but as someone else said, the plant looks otherwise healthy. Fingers crossed.

Leaves are the best 🍃🍂🍁

Thanks for all that photosynthesis, cooling the local environment, participating in the water cycle, giving cover to critters, and being so nice to look at.

Das brachte mich in Bedrängnis, da ich jetzt nach 16 Jahre zusammen arbeiten nach jemanden neuem umschauen muss...deshalb war ich ein wenig leise in letzter Zeit. Ich habe nun meinen Fuss in eine Türe geklemmt und kann aber solange es eben geht, noch mit meinem Psychiater zusammen arbeiten. Dies kann heute auf morgen passieren, eine ungemütliche Lage. Wir haben eigentlich eine gute Freundschaft aufgebaut, ich denke, wenn er aufhört, werden wir noch in Kontakt bleiben.

Yes I have a problem, but luckily the centre is always able to take my money 😆. Painted the planters with concrete paint, and got 6 plants in them. Also bought a few other plants of course. @plants

These are 'whipped cream flowers' I saw on the street I ran down today. 🏃‍♂️
I have been seeing these flowers everywhere the past few days.
Perhaps Mountain Laurel is suited to the hot and humid Japanese climate.
(in my opinion)🧐😊

@catselbow

Passionate red Mountain Laurel buds. These colors were so vibrant that involuntarily I stopped running and took a picture with my phone. They were shaped like red sugar candy, like strawberry cream.

Anyone know what plant this is? It's a real fighter, almost died and was all drooped over and has come back with a big show

@vitriolix It’s a kalanchoe, not quite sure which species… most come from Madagascar.

I had a lovely one in my garden in Brisbane - slightly different leaf structure…

Mine was K. fedtschenkoi

@vitriolix It's definitely an echeveria, not a kalanchoe, just based on the flowers alone. It's hard to tell which kind of echeveria, though, because there are so many, but the purple color and the fact that it's grown such a tall stem are both reminiscent of "Perle Von Nürnberg"

Some plants are trickier to water than others :) Also, it needs a re-potting and better light setup (it looks like some parts are getting too much light and others too little). This is a Sedum Morganianum aka Donkey or Burro's Tail. In the old location it was hanging from a hook and now it's just kind of draped over a shelf. When the leaves fall off as they do with each move and watering I just drop them back into the pot.

@plants The tray is a curved serving tray for what looks like banquets or catering. I got it at a thrift store for about 1€ and it works great for watering.
