Pests and diseases (8)
Problems recorded for this plant, most serious first.
Waterlogging Root Decay
MajorDisorder
The plant wilts even though the soil never dries, and the lower leaves yellow. Pull it up and the roots have turned brown to black with a distinctive rotten smell.
Root Bound
MajorDisorder
Leaves wilt even right after watering and roots push out of the drainage holes. Water runs off the surface instead of soaking in, foliage pales and growth stops.
Spider Mites
MajorPest
Fine white stippling spreads across the upper leaf surface, and the leaf eventually whitens and dies back. In heavy infestations fine webbing appears on leaf undersides and shoot tips.
Scale Insects
CommonPest
Small white or brown shell-like insects dot the shoots and leaves. The plant loses vigor and honeydew-fed sooty mold blackens the shoots and foliage.
Anthracnose
CommonDisease
Light brown to dark brown round lesions with sharp margins form on leaves and fruit, slightly sunken in the center. In wet weather salmon-pink slimy spore masses ooze out on the lesions.
Rust
Disease
Small raised orange-yellow to red-brown pustules form on both leaf surfaces, then rupture and release powdery spores. Heavy infection yellows the leaves and kills them early.
