What's killing my plants?
Sorry if this is the wrong community or is redundant...
I'm looking for leads as to what's happening to plants in my greenhouse window. It started with my basils. Before I noticed, it spread to my mints. The leaves show these yellow spots, then they turn brown and die. Eventually the entire plant dies.
Any clues as to what I can do to treat/prevent this?
It seems like mosaic virus. The best is to remove and destroy (not compost) all infected plants.
Yikes! Thanks for that lead. A search on that confirms what I‘m seeing, and explains why my Amaranth has been stunted. This is going to be a challenge to control.
Also looks like it could be spider mites. I'm not sure how common they are outside of large scale agriculture, but I've found them on my grandma's flowers before. Underside of the leaf may have small traces of spider webs, but the mites themselves are very difficult to see without a magnifying glass without having a trained eye for them
ME
Yeah, considering my success with plants my guess would be "me" as well.
