dyzzypyxxy said:Did you check the backs of the curled leaves for whiteflies, or spider mites Keith? Sometimes you can't see the spider mites without a hand lens, but if you run your finger along the back of the leaf and it comes out with a reddish or yellow stain on it, they are there.

Break out the soapy water spray, spray every surface of the plants in the evening, and rinse them off with the hose in the morning. Repeat the treatment in about 5 days and again in another 5 days to get the succeeding generations.


I will check for any stain and use the soap method!
