Hello, time for another update
A few weeks ago, one of the plants started getting these red spots in the middle of the stem. Still trying to figure out what causes this.
The spots seem to eventually form a line, streaking down the stems and now the branches as well.
The lower, older sets of leaves are slowly yellowing before being shed off.
There even appears to be a small lesion near the base of the stalk.
Overall, the plant appears to be stronger than ever, growing nearly an inch in height each day. It also started branching a couple weeks ago as well.
I'm concerned because other mimosas around this age appear more woody before acquiring their red color. I've been reading about
fusarium wilt which is a vascular disease that mimosas are especially susceptible to apparently. Some of the symptoms are similar, but I couldn't find any good pictures or a specific enough description to make an amateur diagnosis.
Could anyone with more gardening and/or mimosa experience enlighten me on what I'm seeing here? I think these could all be natural hostilis behaviors on their own but I'd like to be more confident in them.
