    Did you check for pests? Could be thrips

      Have you ever noticed the little black bugs on dandelions when picking them outside? Those are thrips! They look like itty bitty specks of dirt. You have to get super close up and look and your plant. Especially the underside of the leaves. If you see little teeny tiny specks of dirt, just push it slightly with your finger. If it moves that’s how you know it’s a thrip! They can be black, or kind of cream coloured.

    They tiny. They won’t be on your sticky traps. Use a magnifying glass or your phone and look underneath the leaves and by the stem where the leaf starts. Any movement is no good. Most likely thrips.

      update!! I have seen no movement but have sprayed all my plants with an organic recommended pesticide, that won’t hurt even if there are no pests. I pruned the black leaf (rip). I also bought a fungicide i’m going to treat her with, just in case.

      i rotate the plant often, it sometimes has slight direct sunlight hit it but generally no.
