Treatment of Acute Maple Wilt with Homeopathy
Updated: Oct 5
I love using homeopathy for plants. One summer I saved one of my maple trees from some kind of extreme wilting (with an acute loss of 2/3 of it’s leaves). Initially, I treated with Carbo-veg 30C, several pellets dissolved in a one gallon container applied to the soil under the tree. I then decided to properly study and repertorize the case and study the leaves. First I thought about causation, earlier a wild rabbit dug a nest into the base of the tree, I hadn’t been very attentive to watering this tree which had been planted the prior summer, and we also had very wet, cold spring weather which may have set this plant up for a fungal infection. I also noticed a crimson discoloration of the leaves before they turned brown and wilted.
I found an online repertory (I have searched and searched to find this online repertory program since that time and have lost the website. I would be so glad if anyone would tell me this website.), studied the Materia Medica in my agrohomeopathy books and administered Mag- phos 30C a few weeks later. The leaf wilt and drop ceased almost immediately and the following year the tree and leaves were perfect. I have since examined the leaves carefully for any recurrence of bright redness, curling and dropping of leaves and saw no recurrence of the problem.
Homeopathic Materia Medica note:
Magnesium phosphoricum: discoloration caused by cold, wetness and draughts. General effects: tonic, sensitivity to draughts, chlorosis, yellowing, bronzing and shedding of the leaves.
