San Pedro variegated?

Post by luigonz »

Hello,

I planted this San Pedro in the ground late august this year. It has been growing very well!
Recently I noticed some discoloration near the growing tip. Could this be variegation? Or is it simply stressed?
There is also a lil baby one next to it exhibiting the same discoloration. These both had the normal green hue before I planted them in the ground.


Thanks for any input. Yalls help is greatly appreciated!

Most likely sun stress put some shade cloth or something similar over it during the hottest part of the day tben gradually reduce the time its covered until its acclimatised.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.

Will probably fade in a day or 2 though, I've got the same plants in ground here that have been in for well over a year and they start looking like that during a hot day just to go back to normal virtually overnight.
If you have good growing conditions be prepared for them to explode with growth once a good root system has built up, mine put on well over 4 foot of growth in a year on the original stem and threw up a new 4 foot pup in the same time!
