Hey everyone,
I've had this problem with my DC for the last month or so that I can't seem to figure out. It lost about 1/2 it's root ball to rot this spring because of using a cloth-type pot, so it took it most of the summer for it to recover. It starting to show some weird leaf problems again, however. The oldest leaves turn yellow then brown, wilt then break at the petiole junction. I've been fertilizing regularly and I've backed off the water quite a bit, because I thought it looked a lot like overwatering. I've been letting the plant wilt some before watering again to make sure that theres still not a lot of water in the lower part of the pot. I'm not sure if this is nutritional, water related, colder temps or disease. It's the weird wilting that has me concerned about Panama Disease. The largest pup is always wilted now, irrespective of watering. I've attached some pictures that might be helpful. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!
