Deformed Milkweed Leaves #930133

Asked April 30, 2026, 10:03 AM EDT

Good Morning,

Can you tell by the attached photos what I'm dealing with on my milkweed plants? I am worried it may be a bad bacteria.

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

Expert Response

The foliage looks deficient in nutrients of some sort which can also cause leaf curling and other malformations.  You might bring your plant(s) to your local office for better analysis.
