My monstera deliciosa has been happily growing an aerial root as horizontally as possible, but I'd like to guide it down into the soil before it gets unmanageably long. I don't know why it insists on resisting gravity but it seems rather content with doing so. I've tried curling it down toward the soil but I'm afraid of breaking it as it is not particularly flexible.
Is there anything I can do?
I noticed this little bulb at the base of the plant a day or two ago. It doesn't look like a new leaf, one of which can be seen emerging from the center of the rhizome. Is it a flower beginning to form?
I started growing early girl tomatoes a few months ago and they've done relatively well with some fruit already along the way. However, early on I noticed black/brown spotting on some of the leaves which I thought were sunspots as I'd been watering overhead, so I trimmed off the damaged leaves and have been watering at the base since.
Despite that, these spots have returned which leads me to believe it is fungal in nature, perhaps septoria leaf spot or early blight? It seems to primarily affect the larger, lower leaves, but even some of the new growth at the top has a few spots. What is it? What do I do?
(I'm growing them in the San Francisco Bay Area)
Thanks!
