I find that the hornworms show up for about two or three weeks and then the Moths that are the adult form move on to the north and are gone for the season. Make no mistake, I kill them quickly and see that the wasps get the remains. You might consider some diligence this time of year in your growing zone and not spraying more chemicals. I'm not into organics, just minimizing the chemicals needed to get a good crop.

All organisms die in 3 basic ways - 1) mechanical disruption, 2) dysfunction, or 3) energy depletion. The later 2 are both suspects in the decline of your plant. Dysfunction occurs when some parts/organs are not operating efficiently and other parts/organs reflect the strain. In this case, it's a good bet the root system is not functioning as Mother Nature intended, and the plant's system is wobbling like a top out of control. This leads to the plant's energy demands outstripping the plants ability to provide enough energy to keep the plant viable. The plant, in an attempt to balance it's demands with its output has been shedding parts - the opposite of growth. A plant that isn't growing is dying, so unless the trend is reversed by your intervention, there is little hope of the plant remaining viable much longer. Appearances seem to be indicating the plant is starved for light and is being over-watered. There may be other issues related to soil chemistry in play, and the soil itself may be a problem (structural collapse or simply inappropriate from the outset). If it was my plant, I would flush the living Dickens out of the soil (the living Dickens actually means dissolved solids/salts), remove the plant from the pot and set it on a wad of newspapers for a couple of hours to 'pull' the excess water from the pot, then move the plant outdoors, first into open shade and then where if gets some morning and afternoon sun. When it starts growing again, I would fertilize with an appropriate fertilizer, like Foliage-Pro 9-3-6. If fungal pathogens have invaded the vasculature of the plant's stem/trunk, you could try taking a cutting, but with virtually no energy reserves, it's unlikely that effort would end in success. Al

Thanks Dawson! That looks exactly like what my plant has. It should be very helpful! I was trying to find pictures that looked like my plant through google searches and images and came up empty handed.

Hi dandan, I have seen some houseplants that have leaves with all three colors like yours. Are you sure that is not normal for it? I am not an expert on house plants and have no clue which plant that is, though, so maybe someone else will chime in for you. The only advice I would have is not to overwater-always a danger with house plants if you aren't careful. Good luck-hope you get an answer!
