Pests and diseases (3)
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.
Powdery Mildew
CommonDisease
White patches appear scattered on the upper leaf surface at first, then the whole leaf is coated in a white powder. Leaves later yellow, brown and die back, and reduced photosynthesis cuts growth and yield.
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.
