--Previous Message-- : : Tom,I think you nailed it. My : lehmannii's 3/4" caudex was : completely burried. The leaves are : still green at the tips, but are : brown and mushy at the base. I : already removed the soil from around : the caudex. Is there anything else : I should do? Thanks I'd give it a good fungicide drench all over the stem. I have had the same problems with this species so I was thinking it was probably the problem. With a lot of those plants, I keep the stem exposed. I know there are a few people who think the stem should be buried because they will grow better, but I have to disagree when it comes to watering and keeping the stem below the surface. Your plant points out my opinion.
