Problem with Moonflower leaves

16 years ago

Hello,

It seems that I am having a problem with my Moonflower leaves and I'm not quite sure what it is (see link below of photo). All of the leaves look this way. This is not affecting any of my other plants or my Morning Glories. I checked for insects, but didn't find any. However, it does remind me of damage that an insect might do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated and thanks for reading!

Hi paperhearts - I'm wondering if you had the moonvine inside or in a more shaded are and recently moved it into full sun...

I've seen leaves that were developed in a shadier situation and placed into stronger sunlight loose color and get 'burnt' around the edges...

???

Hello Ron,

Thanks so much for your response! Hmm, I did start them from seed under lights indoors, then hardened them off with all of my other plants, so maybe that is the problem? They've been out for quite a while though. They've already got a ton of buds. Again, thanks for your response!
