      All my hyacinth is dying, somebody said fungus

      Miracle grow isn't working. Is it a lost cause, turning brown and wilting.

      Pictures would be a big diagnostic help.

      Maybe you water is "too clean" for them. I know mine thrive in the "dirtier" water. They thrive when they can clean the water. ( in my experience)

      Granted my climate is different but mine never grow in the fish ponds - only in the tub where I send the waste from the bottom of my vortex settling tanks, which then overflows onto blueberry bushes. Hyacinth, taro and baby goldfish seem to thrive in that filthy water!

      Even the ones in buckets with dirt are dying. I'll get some pics.

      All my energy lately has been on getting the honey bee project going.

      Curious to see the answers to this... My hyacinths do poorly as well and my water lettuce goes in bright green and healthy and then yellows/curls up within days.

      I have a couple that were separated from the rest, perfect and blooming. Guess I need to toss the dying ones. Never had it before.

      I have two containers of them them look poorly, too! I was wondering if I had accidentally hit them with the hornet pesticide I sprayed recently because they are looking really weird, rusty, and spotty! But maybe mine have a fungus too? So odd!

      Cindy, could they possibly have shot hole fungus? We have had a lot more rain than normal, and even though they re water plants their leaves stay up out of the water. Wondering if all of the ran has kept them too wet and susceptible to the fungus. You can look on the web and see if it looks like what is affecting them.

      Once again...a picture would be worth a thousand words. But even if it is fungal, Shot Hole fungus, 'Wilsonomyces carpophilus' affects fruit trees.... almond, apricot, nectarine, peach, prune and cherry trees can be affected. The fungal pathogen attacks members of the Prunus genera. Water Hyacinth are in the Eichhornia genus and unrelated to Prunus.

      I have had it attack other plants as well. Without a pic, it was just a suggestion.
      "Shothole is a common bacterial disease on ‘Otto Luyken’, ‘Zabal’ and ‘Schip’ laurel plants. The diseases’s name is descriptive of the symptoms: it looks like someone shot the shrub with a shotgun! Wet leaves seem to make the disease worse, so make sure not to water your plants from overhead. If your shrubs are very close together or near a wall that prevents leaf drying, prune them to enhance air flow."

      It can also be on roses, although not as common as black spot.

      That is what happens to mine every time I try to grow it. It just turns to much after a couple of weeks.

      Two 110 gallon stock tanks filled with fish waste water with hyacinths from the same source. One developed green water and the hyacinth languished and the other flourished and the water is clear. Both in simular mostly sunny locations. The ones in the bottom photo are still growing and expanding but look terrible.

      Similar issues. I live in northern California. I have a 20 gallon bucket in the back yard and the water hycinth grow in there and stay green and healthy. I have been adding them slowly to my fish pond over the last 2 months and as soon as I add to the fish pond within 2 to 3 weeks they turn to mush and wither away, even with roots protected from the koi, i have tried sun and shade differant areas of the pond its makes no differance.They dont like the pond water at all!! Water lettuce also grows in buckets like crazy and I have just added those to the pond to see what happens. So far so good with those.

      I've tried hyacinth and lettuce in my pond several different times, always with the result matching BWG's second photo above.

      Just like mine. Some in a bucket are fine.

      Check the roots to see if maybe something hasn't been eating/damaging them.
