Need some advice on how to make these plants healthier, some are near the brink of death! Still learning here any help is appreciated. Currently were in Spring here and weather changes from warm to cold daily, receiving frequent rains too but otherwise dry.
Regular caapi from cutting, leaves ravaged by bugs, suspected bug eggs on underside of leaves. Also leaf-tip blackening occurs. Recently it has been getting watered every 2-3 days.
 Seed grown Brugmansia sanguinea struggling to grow back to it's former glory after losing all or most of leaves during winter. Every day or two waterings.
Narrow-leaf from cutting. Does it seem ok? My last one died for reasons unknown... Watered around every 3 days.
Some leaves turn inward, other turn downwards and dry out and fall off. Is this normal? Watered every day or two. From cutting.
Leaves turn downwards crisp out and fall off. Every day or two waterings. Another red from a cutting.
Same thing with the leaves. Also why are the stems so long? Every day or two waterings. Vienna white from cutting.
 Same as the previous one.
Leaf tips blackening on this Psychotria and also leafs turning downwards. There appears to be a flower? on top that doesn't seem to be maturing or growing. Watered every 2-3 days. From cutting.
This recovered from completely drying out due to forgetting to put it back in the humidity tent for 2 days. Seems ok now, lives in a large ziploc bag in a greenhouse. Watered when soil is drys, on average 1 week.
Bought this one as a rhizome around Summer/Fall kept in a pot for ages. Seems to be coming up now but the sapling cotyledons don't unfold. The last one just deteriorated and I broke it off, you can see it next to the live one. Watered when soil drys out, around every 3-5 days.
  This seed grown iboga recovered after losing all it's leaves in winter. Kept watering the green stem and new leaves appeared, however they look a bit dry now due to recently forgetting to water it. It should be pretty hardy now after surviving our harsh Summer and cold Winter. Lives in a large ziploc bag. Watered around every 3 days.
 Voacanga africana from cutting. This one also lost it's leaves and regrew them in Spring. Watered once or twice a week.

for which plants? mostly organic pine bark mulch potting soil. the terracotta pots get full sun, the other ones on the pavement get part sun they are under shadecloth, Sanguinaria gets no direct sun it's under shadecloth, the ones in the humidity tent get part sun and just today I covered the tent with shadecloth.

about half an hour or so. any actual advice on how to fix any of them? the iboga and caapi have deteriorated even more I don't know why. and I feel like I'm guessing with the catha's, I already lost 2 and don't know why. should I fertilize any of the plants with anything? I've only ever used seaweed ferts once in a while...

Depending on how much moisture their all getting, I would say, increase it. Maybe less sun? Maybe lack of green thumb? I dunno, good luck tho!
