| I put a dahlia bulb in a pot a couple of weeks ago and it has been doing wonderful, but today I noticed that some of the leaves are curling. Should I be alarmed? I have another one that had curled and was black. I pinched those leaves off and it seems to be doing better. I'm new to growing dahlia's and putting bulbs in the ground. It is so much fun and I hope it all works out. I have sent a picture so you might be able to tell me if I have a problem. I don't see any bugs. |

| It's hard to tell but I have had some insect damage which can result in curling/black leaves. I pinch them off and inspect the plants. I've had thrips and also mealybugs, so I'm spraying homemade insecticidal soap for now. I just don't want them on the buds. |
