Hi, this is my 2 year old avocado, grown from seed. How can I make it recover? Why do the leaves look so dry? Any help is appreciated.

This used to happen to my plants when I used tap water instead of rain water. Also make sure to check the soil and under leaves for pests.

I gather rain water for my plants. Also checked for pests but I don’t see any :(

Maybe a nutrient issue? It reminds me of a potassium or zinc deficiency

Try looking for a tiny bug that resembles a short centipede. I found one on my avocado and it is not doing so well. It started like that and then it dropped all of its leaves.

The bug will be near the bottom of the plant.
