Seems like something is eating my Wizard Rose. I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s eating it. The only thing I’ve seen on it is a small jumping spider, otherwise I haven’t seen any other pests. Anyone have any insight as to what’s eating it? Also any home remedies that might help this?
If it’s inside, it may be something like a pet that you have? If it’s outside, it may be a caterpillar or something like that, maybe a slug? Not 100% sure. Good luck finding out!
1 like Thank you! It’s outside. I suspect slugs or caterpillars but I’m not too sure how to deter them. The internet has some varying opinions on what to do.

This is a Coleus yes? If so, and outside, its def caterpillars! I have many outside and can’t keep the leaves from being eaten to save my life. Coleus are super tasty to this guys! Its like a salad bar! They love them! Look on under sides of the leaves (they can be super tiny when babies) and you will find them! I can’t bring myself to spray pesticide since they turn into beautiful moths or butterflies… they’ve gotta eat too! But to each there own. I just gave up on being able to have Coleus for this reason. Too bad because they are so beautiful!
