Is your crown covered, that looks like rot

#### SimplyAnita replied on 2025-06-16

Or too much sun it also looks like

#### Rob replied on 2025-06-16

What is a crown??  
Also the area it is in gets full sun all day long.

#### SimplyAnita replied on 2025-06-17

The crown is where the shoots come up from, it’s a thick stem like in the middle at the bottom. You don’t burry the crown but make sure it looks good

Have you been watering them enough? Or do you have pests?
