What did you do? New Gardner here. Are my Knockouts close to dead? Oak tree help. Drowned New Sod. If the yellowing is just a stain, it is no problem.. Yellow fungus will grow up as a soft lump and get bigger as it responds to water trying to spread to any organic matter it can. I agree with the two follow ups. Have you ever seen the color that peat moss turns water? The perlite's capillary and evaporative action tends to trap some of that colorant tannin?
I too have yellowing perlite in my seedling dish that gets regularly sprayed with fungicide and the yellowness remains.
So unless its furry or squishy, its probably just staining and nothing to worry about. Indem Sie weiterhin auf der Website surfen bzw. Mehr erfahren. Sign In. Join as a Pro. Houzz TV. Houzz Research.

All organic material is in decay, whether you grow with coco, pro moss, or rock wool. Rock's and coco just decay much slower, and perculite is no exception. It's just a matter of whether you will address the fact of decay and whether that's a good thing or bad thing that's up to you.
Perlite: does it naturally yellow, or is that a bad sign? Discussions about anything related to Venus Flytraps, cultivars and named clones. Basically, it's been 4 or 5 days, and the perlite is starting to turn yellow. Does the perlite naturally do this, or should I be worried? User mini profile. Re: Perlite: does it naturally yellow, or is that a bad sign Hard work doesn't harm anyone, but I do not want to take any chances. I did start out with the wrong stuff from Lowe's on two death cube flytraps, so I just about triple-checked.
It started out white and gradually turned yellow; as for who makes it, I'm really not sure. Firstly, there could be more than one reason why the plant is turning yellow. If the cactus is turning yellow from the top, the most common and likely reason would be sunburn.
It may sound ironic because we think of cacti as sun-loving, desert plants. But not all cacti thrive in full sun and some require light or partial shade.
Cacti bought from the store or nursery may also suffer from sunburn if they are not accustomed to bright, outdoor lighting. If this is the case, simply provide some partial shade during the hottest days of the year and the plant should recover. Some take to full sun really well while other plants do better in light shade.
However, if the cactus is turning yellow from the bottom instead of the top, it usually is more serious. The most common reason for this is being too wet and worse, root rot. This is when you see yellowing from the bottom of the plant that soon spreads to the top. You will notice the plant becoming soft and mushy when touched. These are signs of root rot and when this happens, it is harder to remedy and save the plant. The plant may have stayed wet for too long either from too much water, or the soil not drying fast enough, or both.
It is also important to check the type of soil you are using for your cactus. Sometimes over watering may not be the only culprit to constantly wet soil. The soil itself may not be drying fast enough and keeping the roots of the plant constantly wet.
Make sure you are using a fast draining soil. Commercial cactus potting mix combined with perlite or other porous material to add drainage would be good enough. A solution of potting mix and perlite would be good to start with. Others like to add coarse sand to improve drainage. One of the most damaging things you can do to a cactus is exposing it to extremely cold temperatures in the winter and also keeping it wet, which is what happened with my plants. We had a very cold and wet winter season that just passed and some of my cacti did not fare very well.
Since I live in Northern California, I keep all of my cacti outdoors all year and let them weather the rain and cold during the winter. Most of the time they are fine but this year the rain was above average and my plants just became waterlogged.
Cacti usually like to stay dry during the colder months when they go through a dormant period. And some cacti are not very cold hardy to begin with. Exposing them to wet and cold can be disastrous for the plant. Another less common reason for yellowing is pest infestation. Inspect the cactus closely and see if you notice any creepy crawlies around the plant. If you notice little red bugs that look like tiny red spiders, those are spider mites.
