White bugs and unhealthy looking leaves
Comments (5)Since you're sure, if it were only the one plant, I would wash them off with a hose. "Usually", spider mites aren't a problem outside, but they certainly can be sometimes. A few drops of dish soap in a spray bottle will work wonders, and you can get it between those tight little leaves. If you've got an infestation going on, I'm with Lisa and Laura about the Bayer 3 in 1. As far as the other plant with leaf probs, I would clip off those older ugly ones, check the moisture of your soil (are you overwatering or underwatering?) and just give it a chance to grow more and see if the problem doesn't correct its self....See MoreMy Aloe Juvenna Looks Unhealthy
Comments (2)I suspect way too much water. Yes, plant it higher but don't use cactus soil unless you have to - if so, put lots of perlite in it. I would go min 50% and perhaps more. If you could get some grit to add, it would be even better. I would keep 'soil' to no more than 20% (I don't use any, just grit, perlite and turface). Other excellent ingredients would be pumice, scoria and similar - whatever you can get). Aloes should be kept on drier side...And make sure container has drainage holes....See MoreUnhealthy looking fiddle leaf fig (pictures in comments)
Comments (10)What are you fertilizing with? How often? At what strength? You're probably over-watering and the deformed leaves are likely a culturally induced Ca(lcium) deficiency. A dearth of oxygen in the root zone due to excessive water retention (over-watering) limits Ca uptake. A constant supply of Ca is required in the nutrient stream if cells/tissues are to form normally. Limited amounts of oxygen in the soil also cause iron and manganese to precipitate (become unavailable for uptake). Al...See MoreHalf of rhodie looks unhealthy
Comments (2)This really does not look like a single plant. Possible, but especially in the first photo, the badly wilted one looks to be separate from the rest. The most likely cause of the wilt is a root rot disease caused by one of the phytophthora water molds. Diagnosis by photograph is not very reliable, so I would recommend consulting with your state agriculture department or county extension service. If it is root rot, such diseases are not curable and you need to remove the entire plant. If it really is just one plant, prune out all of the dead stuff and dispose of it, making sure to sterilize the pruning tools between cuts....See Morejustinva
