- I have a Blue chalksticks that I found lying on its side. The stem was mushy so I suspect Root Rot. But no really sure. It was not overwatered. I am trying a rescue.

Cinnamon works wonders👍🏼!!! I’ve used it in my plants and have had great luck with it. 🥰
Yes it does!
As a general precautionary measure, I dust anything new I have to repot and expose the roots. Apparently, the roots are quite tolerant of it, so there' no downside. 😉
Wow, I knew about the antifungal properties of cinnamon, but never thought of using it on plants. Thank you! Hope yours heal!
Thank you! It has worked for me several times.
Cinnamon is amazing! I woke up one day and found yellow mushrooms growing in my monstera. I dusted them with ground cinnamon and within 48h, the mushrooms had shrivelled down into nothing!

@@AmyM-yg1ue hi Amy .... I'm new to all this but in this case the mushrooms are bad??.....I ask because I've heard that when you find them in the top soil of your potted plants they're actually helping break down mulch and making nutrients accessible to the plant.....so yeah I guess it makes sense if they're on the plants that they're actually hurting them😔...
I'm so glad this worked for you and thanks for the pro tip.....now if I have a similar problem I'll know what to do😉
This is SO HELPFUL! this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much for showing your step by step way of trying to solve this! I will do like you do with mine too!
Thank you so much. I hope you can save yours. Such a pretty color plants.
Thank you! I hope so too, it's one of my favourite plants. Fingers crossed it works! I've favourited this video and will watch again when I do the process in a day or so. Great video, thanks again! @@KimsGardensandHome
Hi Kim, I'm a "liker" from Lake Charles, LA. I've had a fair amount of experience with succulents and I'd like to give "blue chalk sticks" a whirl. They appear to be easy to grow and will make a nice addition alongside my desert roses and Madagascar palm. Also, I got lucky and was able to purchase a 3-branch plumeria ("Teresa Wilder") from J&J Plumeria via Etsy. The plumeria has done nicely and sprouted a few new leaves since I put it in a pot last month (April '24). Thanks for posting the most informative video. 🪴🌵
You are welcome and I am glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with yours.
If you cut off the cuttings, you should let them dry for two days and then stick them in the ground. I cut off thick shoots and also the tip, then new shoots form directly on top.
I water my blue chalksticks once a week. In order to maintain blue chalks, they need to also be in a sunny window. most likely they are underwater since the soil is very dry
Yes, I agree in hindsight that it could have been from underwatering.
I have my Blue chalksticks in hypertufa and I am fairly sure they are not over-watered. In fact, underwatered might be more likely. But it seems to have rotted base stems except for the third stem. I am rescuing it with cinnamon....hopefully!
That’s called dry rot ….it’s looks similar to a rot that you would get from overwatering…..but it’s the opposite…..this usually happens when the temperature is very warm and humid and the soil stays dry …..this is very tricky to understand….I usually keep a close check during the warmer months
I think that’s what’s happening to mine right now. What have you done to try to prevent it?
@@jordyndanforth2301 cut the rot asap ….the early the better …..then let the cut callus you can use cinnamon powder …just dip the cut part in cinnamon powder and let it heal….then let it air root ….once roots are visible put it in soil…and follow a proper watering schedule….don’t let the soil dry for too long if your climate is warm and humid…..water only when the soil is completely dry …..to maintain a proper watering schedule you can note the days from watering to soil getting completely dry …..so then you have a fair idea when the next watering is due ☺️….wishing you all the luck ☺️
This exact thing happened to mine over the summer. Soil wasn’t wet or anything like that and all I have left is one stem and root system, let’s see if they live 🤞
Mine is dead. Gone! But I still have some others in a different pot.
same, I'm trying to save it
I'm currently having the same problem with my blue chalksticks, I'm hoping i can save it ;-;
I lost this pot. They eventually all died. But I still have another pot that seems to still be doing well.
So I was given what I believe to be are blue chalk sticks, they look just like this except mine have a bit of a problem. They were given to me in bad condition, and I am only 16 so I don't have much knowledge about this plant. Based off of what I have seen online, it should be a healthy green color, and all of the leaves should be green and appear healthy. The entire stem is a brownish-green color, and the 'leaves' are completely brown and dried up and very thin like twigs. It only really looks healthy on top. There is a second, shorter growth which also has the same issue with the leaves but is in a bit better condition. I felt the stem that is above the soil and it is firm. I haven't watered it since I received it which was a few weeks ago, so I am unsure what to do as I am a complete beginner. Do you have any ideas?
If the stem is getting brown, it may be dying from root rot (which happens from the soil level and on upwards.) You might want to cut some upper branches, let them dry and callous a few days, then plant them in dry soil to rescue what you have left. Good luck with your Chalk Sticks.
@@KimsGardensandHome Thank you! I'll try this out, hopefully all goes well!!!
I just want to say it that is completely awesome that you are taking the time 2 make this plant look good again when you're only 16 years old! I'm proud of you I'll say that! Finding Hobbies like this in your teens keeps you out of trouble💕
@@jodyann77 Thank you so much! I have now gotten many more succulents and am enjoying taking care of them very much. :) Unfortunately, the plant in the comment I made above didn't get in better condition, and it fully died. But now I know what do to and I know the warning signs!! I hope I can keep this hobby going.
How long do I let it callus
great video!
did you have success with rooting the other cutting? how long did you leave to callous over ?
i just cut 2 individual 6" cuttings and was going to wait about 2 days and then plant in soil...do you have any suggestions ? or success rate?! thanks !
I didn't have any success. It just continued to rot. Good thing I had another pot of them. They are still good this spring and I want to set them out for blooming.
after 2 months is rooting start ?
No, all of the stalks died. 😥I have another pot of chalksticks left and , so far, it looks healthy.
@@KimsGardensandHome 😥😪😪
😭one of the worst discoveries
True 😢
Camera work was making me feel very seasick 🤭🤢😞
Sorry about that!
Some people don't have expensive equipment and they don't need expensive equipment either! She's doing this video out of the goodness of her heart and taking her time to help others. And all you can say about it is what you did! She did her best and a wonderful job I must say. If it makes you sick then just turn it off and go to a different video instead of leaving a negative comment! It makes me so sick to see negative comments on here when people are taking their time to help us!
@@KimsGardensandHome you did a great job dear! Thank you so much for taking your time to help us! People don't understand how much work it takes to do something like this! Keep up the great work and thank you again for helping us!
Don’t be sorry Ma’am; you and your Grandson Jacob did a great job! Thanks for sharing!
