unwanted mushrooms in the weed pots
OK, I'm not sure how much good it will do at this point, but here are pictures as promised. First, the plant, of which I trimmed off much of the dead crap.
As far as trying to knock back the fungus, I sprayed a fungicide on the inside of my wheelbarrow (in which I mix soil), on both sides of the shovel, all over the dirt as I was mixing, all over the plant, on the inside of the new container, and in the B1 solution that I watered the plant with. I saved about 2/3 of the root mass, which was infected throughout with the little white balls. The bottom inch or so of the root mass was damp and had a couple spots of mold, even though I hadnā??t watered in more than 2 weeks. I think this is a huge testiment for the ability of clay pellets to hold moisture.
I want this soil to dry out easier than before, even though it means Iā??ll have to check it more often. About 30% of the mix is perlite, and about 1% is Hydroton. The remainder is potting soil. Whadda ya think? Is that too much air in the soil? And most importantly, will she make it? I certainly hope so. She's the only surviving female of my WW x Jamaican Lambs Breath. Let's all say a prayer.
