I noticed the new or inner leaves on the plant change in shape and curling under. Also the curling leaves are hard. What is going on with this plant? Take a look The plant is potted.

I gave all my brugs away yrs ago!

I have not seen any type of insect on this plant though. I will spray for a few weeks and see what happens. I just purchased more container brugs and it's sitting next to this plant. Guess I should spray them as well? Why did you get rid of your brugs may I ask? Thanks for the information!

I dont plant many things that I have to dig in the fall anymore-to much work! Id spray all of them if your going to bring them in-zone 9(envy) good luck with them, they are pretty!!

I do have a shed to place some plants if weather is too cold, which it seldom is. Last winter we did not have even one freeze, thankfully. I have many more plants this year and keeping my fingers crossed. Most of my plants are potted, so I will mulch over time and possibly wrap with blankets if weather gets too cold. Thanks for your input! Stephanie Pinkdamsel - Louisiana, Zone "9a"   Pinkdamsel  My Weather Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2007 - 08:30 pm EST :    I've been misting my angel trumpet since Nov. 1. Today several "good" leaves fell off the plant. I'm a little concerned. We did have wind today but my brugs are usually strong enough to sustain the wind. Should I stop misting for now? Advice? P.S. I've yet to see any type of insect on the brug.

If it is slightly reddish/brown then you have spider mite. They are too small to see with the naked eye. Hope that helps.

I tried wiped underleaves, it is not yellow/brown. Dori, good idea. I'll PM Karma with pics. My situation seems to be getting worse. Pinkdamsel - Louisiana, Zone "9a"
