Expert Response

Hi Glenna,

I'm wondering if your plant is being attacked by aphids ? They are very tiny insects that suck the juices out of the leaves and than cause the leaves to cup.\

Spray all the leaves, especially the bottoms with a spray bottle filled with water and one teaspoon of mild liquid soap. Do this morning and evening for several days and see if it helps.
