I have all three of these in white, yellow, and purple. They are all in containers outside. Almost all of my D. Wrightii and D. Inoxia have leaf miners and something else which is spotting the leaves, possibly spider mites. My D. Metel leaves look terrible too, but it seems that new ones are currently growing. I assume that the colder weather may be causing some of the damage, but the coldest temps so far have been in the 40's at night. Is there anyone else who has experienced this? Should I cut these plants way back and let them grow back healthier? Thanks for your help in advance.
