Title: Haberlea virginalis
Post by: Lawrence on April 07, 2019, 05:49:02 AM

Can anyone help identify the problem with this old, rather large ( 36cm pot) Haberlea . Some of the calyces are turning brown and eventually the flower buds seem to perish?
Many thanks

On African violets it can be the result of infestation with foliar nematodes;

Maybe it would be happier outdoors in a wall?
