Just my op.......graduating in the fall.
This plant will show you many "looks" before it becomes established.
Many growers (me included)feel the need to "fertilize real good" in spring when they think the plant should grow only to hobble the plant for a month or too.
I switched to organic for the first fert so I will not do what I say not to do.
Just my other op.
Many insects (butterflies) will do an egg drop and the caterpillar will do a taste test before it moves on.....and then others seem to have found the best plant ever.
I have had single caterpillars do a weeks taste test before moving on and a tent type caterpillar that was destined to eat a whole 16 foot basjoo in one sitting.
Now that you found a pest and removed it...... observe the next few months.
