Long time, no talk, gardeners!

My plants have been okay, save for a few new spider webs (we have an infestation at the moment). Recently I noticed one of my four avocado seedlings has browning leaves, which have begun to curl. This is my only avo with issues - to start, the leaves remained in a droopy state even after watering. This one was transplanted to soil about a month ago, and seems to be well established in the pot. It began pushing out a new set of leaves, which is when the browning of the lower, droopy leaves began. I have since removed all of the older leaves, and don't see any issues with the new growth *yet*. Could it be fungal? Hopefully not pests? Not likely sunburn, all 4 stay right under my grow lights and no others have shown signs like this.

It s not a disease it s more likely a nutrient imbalance if the problem persist after transplanting u should give some npk soil application and try to spray it with trace element product it must contain all trace element essetiental for plant magnesium zinc manganese bore molybdenum copper iron together.

Thank you! I should definitely look into fertilizers! It's been persisting with the lowest leaves, and I don't fertilize ANY plants so these guys may be a little more needy than my others. Tysm!

Oh my gosh the exact same thing happened to mine too! It ended up dying sadly Crying oh well, I hope yours gets better!
Every field has treasure in it. The difference is if you put in the work to dig it up.

This specific Avo died, but that was because it was in a pot far too small, I unpotted it before getting more soil, and the roots shrivelled up. Poor thing, it had great roots. My oldest avo had the same condition, I just remove the bad leaves, and it hasn't had browning in a long while. It hasn't grown new leaves yet, just it's current 3 HUGE leaves, but it's not developing any browning in my cold, north-facing window. I wonder if I was giving them too much light Smiling
