Hello all,
Long time lurker here. I had a few questions about one of my plants that I thought some of you may be able to help with. I have had this N. hamata for almost a year. When I received it, it was quite small and likely still relatively fresh from tissue culture. With high humidity and moderate temperature drops at night, it grew very well. I decided to repot it a couple of months ago into small chip coconut coir that had been rinsed and sterilized. Initially the plant stopped growing as expected due to transplant shock. Around this time I also did a soak in a diluted Clearys 3336 solution to combat any fungal issues that could crop up from the new substrate and high humidity. After about a month it began to grow again, although with a smaller initial leaf. Fast forwarding to now, some brown spots have appeared on all the leaves and the growth tip seems to have shrunken with leaves that appear to struggle to unfold. I was wondering if these problems could still be remnants of the transplant shock, or if this is a more serious issue such as fungal or bacterial issues. Any advice or suggestions? Thank you in advance and I look forward to getting to know you all!
