Eriosyce in Danger
    #23702557 - 10/03/16 06:30 AM (7 years, 3 months ago)



This is one of my most precious exemplars. Its an Eriosyce occulta and was doing really good since yesterday, when i spotted something wrong.

Top part, all near the apical meristem has a different colour, its dry and soft (not squishy) . The plant was well exposed to sun but i doubt its a sunburn , since it's used to full sun. I want to save this exemplar, even if this means cutting the top part, thus mutilating it.
I will wait for a day or two. Any clues?

Weird. Nothing changed around it? Was the pot turned around, neighbour pruned a tree that shaded it, etc.? It does look like something burned it. Angry ex-girlfriend decided to punish you by ruining your favourite plant?

the only time I've had cacti turn purple that weren't suppose to was from sunburn, but I am not familiar with that plant could be something else. You could try grafting a tubercle just in case it doesn't make it.

The purple of this exemplar is normal. E. occulta can be green, pink, purple, brown, to near black.

the problem in fact is not the colour. Being this dark purple is one of the reasons i love this exemplars. but if you look zooming, the zone around growing tip is a "grneenish" violet.

Never moved it, and it took 2 months of full sun ( august and semptember)
now that the weather is less sunny, i can't think of sunburn. no particular waterings

the plant is perfect and firm from the base to mid.

Going to update tomorrow, hoping it stalls this conditions

aaaaand it's gone. I knew it was going to die, as they day after the green soft part became larger. Anyway , today it was there, all infected with this horrible desease, perfect in shape, but surrounded by swarming insects.

I hate losing exemplars like this, but if there's one thing that i hate more, is losing an established plant that never had an issue, with apparently no reason.
