Greetings from Southwest Florida. I have a couple potted Brugs that were happy and healthy most of their lives. Strong foliage, prolific flowering, etc. Last December, they were hit with spider mites. I controlled the infestation with Maxxthor on the foliage and Prothor as a systemic soil soak. They never really started growing well again, so I removed the foliage, cut them way back to the "Y's" and repotted them, removing any potbound roots and gave them fresh soil. I also potted cuttings from the trimmings.
They're definitely growing again, but with issues. The new leafs emerge and look very healthy for a few days, then start to turn yellow and dry up and within a week or 2, fall off. I don't see any signs of insects.
I have one inside my screened lanai and one outside. This is even happening with the growth on the new cuttings.
I water the pots daily and fertilize weekly with Jacks 20-20-20. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Paul
