What's Eating my Brugmansia?
    #10329009 - 05/12/09 07:45 PM (14 years, 8 months ago)

BoO's parents gave me what I believe to be a Brugmansia of some sort.  After a few months in the ground after transplanting, it finally started to shoot up.  It's grown quite a bit recently but it seems like it's getting eaten by something:





For a long time (after I noticed the holes and yellowing) I couldn't find any critters on the plant, but recently I've been starting to find a few webs under the leaves. 

Even if something is eating it, why would that cause the yellowing of the leaves without holes as shown (not very clearly) in the 3rd photo?

The yellowing and the webs is probably spider mites. Mine almost always get spider mites. You can treat them with neem oil, which is an all natural organic control.

The other damage is most likely some kinda caterpillar. The first pic looks like there could be leafminer(can't really tell though.) Where it kinda looks like brown dead spots on the leaves. Look at the brown spots- does it look hollowed out in between the outer tissues of the leaves-maybe some small black or brown pellets? or a little maggot looking worm in there? Could be leafminer.

It's hard for me to tell for sure though in pictures. You can always bring in some samples to a local reputable garden center(not megastores-they don't know shit).

I would just hit it with sevin dust for now. That will probably take care of it.

I agree, the holes in the leaves do look like some kind of caterpillar caused damage.

Thanks guys.  I'll break out a magnifying glass and do a bit more detailed search.  And find some neem oil in the meantime...

I had a giant caterpillar come and eat all my habaneros two years ago.  I caught him in the act early but when I went to pull him off he held on so hard he started to break open.  I felt bad so I left him there and he went on to eat all four plants...  Bastards.

Yep. That's why I think Sevin would probably be the best fit for the problem. I would try and find the culprits.

My two brugmansia are also currently getting munched up by spider mites. They just keep coming back for more :frown:
