Orange Perlite

giantart · Mar 24, 2009

Help, the perlite on top of my soil has an orange color to it and my plants have red stems and dark bluish leaves that curl down on the edges and ends. I'm sorry I don't have pictures but is anyone familiar with these problems. The plants also seem to have stopped growing - ?

Thanks for any help.

Leaves curling down and stopped growing? Sounds like overwatering. Water less frequently, water when the pot is light, r the top two inches are dry.

Blueish leaves could be a copper def, but i seriously doubt it.

Orange perlite is usually caused by staining by nutes or the soil. Lamp
