Sorry, a bit off-topic, but why doesn’t this app account for in-ground plants? I don’t have a single potted plant. Maybe I just picked the wrong app?

Dave if you have a question in regards to in-ground plant let me know I can help you.

Thank you! I have four pics so far and they’re all in-ground.

The main issue are several Mexican Petunias that have leaf discoloration, are in ground, an get 8+ hrs of full sun. They all receive water 3x/wk on the same irrigation as my lawn. Unsure what the issue may be. The same species at the front of my house get 6+ hrs of full sun. Thanks for any advice.

Hey Dave! Sorry a late response. What are the white spots, I can’t zoom in enough. Did you spray it with a chemical? From the image in my opinion it looks to be in ok shape, it’s thinning out possibly due to heat but the yellow shows that it might be a water/nutrient issue. I’m going to assume it’s a nutrient deficiency but check the plant and see if it’s really wet underneath or super dry by the roots.

Continued: the petunias in the front bed do not have problems like this plant.
