Hey all,
I have a beautiful violet African daisy plant. It was healthy for quite some time. I re potted it after a few days of purchase. It gave good flowers - lesser than what the nursery brought had... but it was healthy looking with green leaves and small buds.
Last 2 weeks the leaves at the bottom are yellow-ing and the new buds are drying out even before reaching a blooming size. I also noticed that the leaves are curling inwards. I sprayed the miracle grow house plant bug spray on it last week. But today i spotted a brown spider on the plant. Is that the cause of all this?
I dont want to loose my pretty flowering plant.
Pls advice me what to do with it...
