Phrag China Dragon

[Gilda]

:sob::sob: I have 2 first bloom China Dragons...spikes were emerged about 5 inches and now they seem to have rotted at the base,down in the leaf axil..they flop back and forth. No water was got in the leaf axil, no rot going on the plant. What could have caused this ?? We did have a temp drop a couple weeks ago ??

Photos?

There is really nothing you can see Eric...it looks slightly dark where the spike emerges..the spike is still green from there up...it hasn't turned brown and died yet.:sob: I discovered these about 5 days ago. These sit on a high shelf in the grow room..hard to get down to photo.

Temp drop could do that.

Our power was out for 4 hours while we were in FL. at the WOC .
and we had the coldest temps we have had all year..
My daughter could not get the gas heater going, and she was suppose to phone us if this situation came up ,but since it was 3am she didn't want to bother us:sob:
