My outdoor Lantana has developed a leaf condition where the leaves turn light and then brown and fall off. I don’t see any evidence of bugs on the leaves. Anyone have any suggestions as to what this may be?

    Upon further research, I believe I am dealing with a Lantana Lace Bug infestation. The UGA site recommended heavy pruning with complete leaf disposal, not composting, and the use of an insecticidal soap or a horticultural oil. Due to the attractiveness of Lantana to pollinators, chemical insecticides should be used only in extreme situations and with extreme caution. Hope this helps someone out there!

    I have the same situation in my garden bed. I’ve been fighting them off with a mixture of neem oil, alcohol and dish soap. But it’s an uphill battle and sometimes I feel like just pulling them off the ground 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll probably trim them back when it gets colder in a month or so.
