Sick Impatiens

19 years ago

My plants are sick and I don't know what is causing it. They are not opening, have many buds, and today the leaves are showing brown spots with white in the middle. Can anyone give me a clue what it is? There are no bugs involved actively on the leaves, and my single impatiens are also involved. My marigolds and nicotia planted along side of them show no symtoms. Help! Thank you!

It could be virus attack but I am surprised that your nicotia arent affected. They suffer the same virus as impatiens. Hmmm I wonder is they infected the impatiens through thrips or something. Or do you water a lot. I heard that lots of mositure will be on bacterial infection which is not the same as a virus.

My impatiens are starting to get sick in the hanging planters lately. They are very leggy, yellowing, and flowers and green are all falling off. They are getting water.
What could be the problem??
