Hi,

This sweet brug is having some major issues. I know someone will know what to do. Here is a bunch of photos of it. The picture with the little girls is how it looked a few weeks ago. It was really mottled at the edges which eventually showed up on all the large leaves. I then cut off all the bad leaves and left only healthy green ones, yet now those are starting to do the same. It has been in this spot for over a year and last summer it did great. It's getting plenty of water and I fertilized it about a month ago with a very neutral fertilizer. My thought is that maybe it has a deficiency of some sort like iron? I also found these super disgusting snail/worm things eating one of the leaves. Honestly, they were so gross I thought it was bird doody!

So what should I do???

Thanks, Christina
