Hi. My pentas had been looking fine. Then, yesterday, I noticed that half of the plant is dying. The stems have started to turn yellow and the leaves died. I have included a picture. What is happening to them???
Help! Suddenly my Pentas are dying!
I pulled it out of the ground today because the death kept spreading. The roots are entirely orange. What is this?
I am sorry you had to pull up your Pentas. It was probably the right thing to do. I am guessing, but it sounds like fusarium wilt or something like it. Plants die real quick when they get that. There's nothing to do but pull the plants.
