Pests and diseases
It isn’t difficult to see when a plant is a bit off-colour. But trying to figure out what is causing the problem is another matter. Sometimes it’s obvious – the snail’s still there munching away, but other times it is not so clear.
It is often easier to identify the problem by recognising the symptoms. Once you’ve got a handle on the culprit, you can take action.
