Ummm help

Was gonna to make a normal post and add of picture of the #SolomonSeal @peter1 was so kind to give me and I saw THIS! What is going on???

Apart from that, yesterday I tried to convince my neighbor to β€œjoin” the #SolomonSealClub because she was talking to me about her yard and said that she couldn’t grow anything against her wall because it was shady and I was like β€œcan I give you a plant recommendation?” πŸ˜‚ she said that it would be too much work (even though I tried to tell her that it wouldn’t be) thankfully the neighbor next to her also has a wall! She was really nice though!
4ft to light, direct
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 3 years ago
They look scorched! πŸ™
@kscape ohhhhhhhh I didn’t even think of that! I completely forgot! They like shade! Thank you so much! How could I forget! But they started yellowing before they were there. COME ON GREG! οΏΌARENT YOU SUPPOSED TO TELL ME IF THEY ARE IN TOO MUCH SUN!
@RJG! This needs to be updated! Solomon seal LOVEEEEE shade! To be fair I did forget because they started yellowing before so I completely forgot about the fact that they like shade BUT STILLL! THE AGONY! THE ABUSE! THINK OF THE POOR VSS! 🫣🫣😭😭😒πŸ₯ΊπŸ˜©πŸ˜¨πŸ˜±πŸ˜±πŸ˜±
@PlantyPlanter i think it’s because they were recently added to Greg’s database so it’s a recently new plant. I also believe Greg uses the input and general information of users who own the plant, and take that and use it, along with their own system of plant info and come up with the plant info thingy….I’m rambling lol @RJG help
@kscape Ik, but it’s weird that they didn’t know it’s a shady plant because Solomon seal is a shady plant. But thank you again!
@PlantyPlanter Btw, love the VSS. Very beautiful βœ¨πŸ’•
@kscape thank you! @peter1 have them to me and he has a bunch! They are very pretty ❀️🌿
@kscape @peter1 @sarahsalith @sarahsalith ok, I moved my VSS to a hopefully better spot. Should I water them? Because the soil isn’t really wet and I want the soil to be compact. Should I wait until tomorrow or water then right now?
@PlantyPlanter Trim the dead leaves! I don’t know about the watering though
From what I am realizing, Solomons Seal seems likeοΏΌ a rather fragile plant. If you lose some leaves, I bet later on, the rhizomeοΏΌ will push out more stemsοΏΌ.

I was kind of bummed that I got bare root SS from that lady on EtsyοΏΌ, but I'm pretty sure that when the plant stabilizes, you'll see new growth. οΏΌ

I'm learning that patience is the key οΏΌοΏΌwith this plant.
@sarahsalith ok, I think the stem might be broken. I’ll cute off the dead lwaves

@sarahsalith I wouldn’t say they are fragile. They are just shady plants so it makes sense that that happened
@RJG I have some info for the Solomon seal!

1. They are shade only plants

2. They aren’t toxic (at least for humans)
Do you have it labeled direct light? Or just that it's within 1 foot of the window
@RJG I’m positive I had it labeled as direct lifht
How much?
@RJG like how long? Like how many hours of direct light?
@PlantyPlanter @peter1 @rjg Solomon Seals will tolerate most lighting conditions, and while they prefer shade, direct sun isn’t a death sentence for them!

This isn’t a burn or scorch, since the entire leaf is damaged. It’s likely that the roots failed to take up in the new soil.

We’ll warn ya if they’re getting too little light, but they can survive in bright light with frequent watering as well!
@Kiersten ok! I think the stem may have been broken on that one 😬 but still I think it was better that I moved them from there because that room was all windows and got at least 8 hours of light. Thank you so much for your time! This is good info! If you need any info about Solomon seal to add to your data base I will be happy to share! Thanks! 🌿
