Clusia Rosea care - Autograph tree

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hope you liked the video my dear friends! If you have any more tips on Clusia Rosea care (or Autograph tree) share with us below ☺️♥️!

[@masha805]

Hi Lucia, thanks for your great video! :) I have a question: there are some small brown dots on the bottom leaves of my Clusia and when I try to wipe them, they don´t get off. Do you maybe know what it might be? Thanks a lot!

[@PlantsandLucia]

@@masha805 hiii! I'm so sorry I missed your comment! I had the same problem... If it is small dots like I had in my clusea, it may mean lack of sunlight /water/humidity... In my case it was lack on sunlight... I brought my plant closer to my window and the dots started to disappear, how's your plant doing? I know this may be a bit late, but thought it may be useful!

[@kidwoo125]

Hi Lucia, really like you video. My Clusia Rosea has some white flakes on the new born leaves. Is it normal or caused by bugs or sick? But I didn't see any bug or pest. Hope you can reply. Thank you!

I just got back from Aldi with this beautiful plant and Googled how to take care of "her" and your video came up. Such a delightful presentation and so informative, really spot on, not boring at all. Thank you for sharing. 🌿🌿🌈

[@PlantsandLucia]

Ah! Thank you so much for such a kind comment 😊.. So happy you liked the video and that you are now part of this community too! Sending lots of positive energy to you and your Clusia Rosea ❤️

I just got one from Lidl. How's yours doing 11 months on? Any tips? 🙂

Just piked up a Clusia Rosea and loved the informative tips you gave. Thank you so much!

I have several Clusia. We call it "copey". I'm here learning how to take care of them...

Hi hello i am Cuban like the Clusia!!!! Thanks for the info

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hola ! So happy you found it useful 💚

[@benwismer9164]

Big tip here. The clusia rosea produces aieral roots that can be woven into any shape that can be made with chicken wire. In nature they are pooped out by birds onto branches as seeds where they make the aieral root to reach the ground. Thus to produce a weaveable root you must start a seed in a very small container. When the aieral root develops guide it into your chicken wire lattice. Finally let it root into the ground. The intertwined aieral roots ultimately fuse into one as the shape you chose and can live for hundreds if not thousands of years

I love Aimee! She has a similar background and needs to my coffee tree. I commented months ago asking for some tree care. Thank you for making videos on a few trees since then. Sending love to you and your family!

Love this video

[@ruteunicesoto1910]

Your video was very informative. The only thorough video about Clusia Rosea. I have some cuttings a friend gifted me and I put them in water to grow roots. The roots grew and I planted in a pot. My plant now looks so sad. I'm scared to loose her. Her leaves have stayed green but they lost their thickness and just droopy. I water constantly and have her in bright light but not direct sun. Do you have any suggestions?

[@janninezeller7316]

hey Rut! I also have a clusia rosea. Perhaps you are watering it too often? these plants are very forgiving so don't be scared to let the soil dry out a bit before you give it more water (I water mine every 10 days, she is very happy now). Plants take time to adapt to their new home (pot), and yours might have entered a 'shock' stage, this is quite normal. I recommend to not do anything to it for a week or so. Best of luck!

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi Rut and Jannine! First of all, I love seeing that you guys are helping each other here this is sooo cool! 🥰 I agree with Jannine, sometimes when we move our cuttings from water to soil, the plant may experience some shock, as she is in a new environment... Also, yes... You may be watering more than needed, I usually water my Clusia Rosea every 10 days or so... How is your Clusia Rosea doing now? Let us know how it goes 💜

[@ruteunicesoto1910]

Just wanted to drop by and give you a small update. I did leave my baby out and 'forgot' about her so I wouldn't continue to over water her. When I remembered her, we had several days of major down pour so I thought I was going to really loose her. But I just wish I could share pictures here!! Her original leaves never bounced back but this week she shot out new growth! Thank you so much for your time and for your help!!

Thank you for these helpful tips! I have a Clusia too, and was wondering how you actually cut it. Like where exactly on the plant? :D That would be nice to know, as I don't wanna kill it ;)

[@carmit]

Hi Lucia! Thank you so much for the helpful video. I was looking for information on Clusias and luckily bumped into it and tour channel that I loved! My clusia is showing small brown tips on some leaves that kinda look like scale but are actually hard brown parts of the leaves. Any idea on what might be causing it and how to solve it?

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hi!! Thank you so much for the very kind comment! So happy you like the content :) hm... are these little dots on the leaves? or just brown spots at the end of the leaves?

[@carmit]

@@PlantsandLucia Little (hard) dots on the leaves. No changes in watering or sunlight and otherwise she's looking healthy!

[@hannas9087]

@@PlantsandLucia My clusia has got these brown dots especially on younger leaves. Can you help me with that? I read that its a reaction to stress. Should I carefully remove the dots by scraping them off? Will they eventually go away? Or is it a bug

[@roundersproduction]

Great video Very informative But I think full light of Asia is much hotter which burn their leaves 😊

[@renalli]

Hi Lucia! I have recently bought this beautiful plant but it came in a fancy ceramic pot with no drainage. Any advice on how to water? Thank you so much i love your videos ❤️

[@PlantsandLucia]

Hiii 🥰! I usually put my plants in a pot with drainage holes and then put that pot in a decorative pot (just to make sure I don't over water and to be able to use the bottom watering method). However, if you'd like to leave in that one pot, I'd recommend putting drainage stones (or expanded clay pebbles) at the bottom - - this will help with drainage so the water doesn't stay in the soil when watering from the top... And try to water your plant from the top with not so much water to make the soil moit but not wet.. However, if you are just starting with plants, I strongly recommend getting a pot with drainage holes, as these really help when preventing overwatering as well as root bound once your plant grows :) I hope this is helpful, and let me know how it goes ♥️🌿!

[@hani6364]

My plant has black spots. What should I do?

[@sommerk]

Im not sure why the leaves of my Clusia are mushy? I was thinking of overwatering? Besides the mushy leaves, I don`t see any sign that it`s going to die soon :(

[@qltygrl3187]

I just bought one and it’s dropping leaves. No idea why.

[@cmd027]

Can you help Lucia? I am new to plant care and I recently acquired a beautiful autograph tree. Over the 3 weeks I've had it, about 7-8 leaves have become discolored and fell off. It looks like cold damage (I live in NY and it is winter), but in the house I have followed all the care rules you mentioned in the video. I have no idea why it still drops leaves. Is this a delayed response to being transported outside to my car during winter time when I got it? Could it be from being within 2' of a window that is cold to the touch? The house temp is about 70 degrees, the plant is in a southeast facing window and it has a humidity tray. It had gnats that I am treating with neem oil. I have watered it once since I got it, it is due to be watered again in the coming few days.

[@qltygrl3187]

Did the plant make it? I’m having trouble with mine losing leaves.

How can you propagate clusea rosea?

oh no! Sorry to read that... how often do you water your plant and what method do you use to water?

@@PlantsandLucia Thank you for answering I re potted about 2 weeks ago I used jungle growth flower and vegetable potting mix from lowes I have water twice, when i first potted it then a week later, I water until water comes out the bottom, the plant is facing south it might get 3 to 4 hours of sun, it sits in my covered patio Thanks
