# What the heck is happening to my avocado? This is the second time…

What the heck is happening to my avocado?

This is the second time this has happened with this plant. The most mature leaves have shriveled and dropped suddenly. The plant is growing well and it is water and fertilized regularly (according to Planta’s recommendations). It is under a plant light. I am at a loss as to why it has done this.
