Crown too tight or normal?

13 years ago

I've had this AV for only a couple months and I'm pretty novice with AVs to begin with. I am a little concerned if the crown on my AV is "tight" and suggests mites or if the way it looks is normal? Don't mind the other leaves, apparently it suffered some sun damage before I purchased it. Thanks!

It looks fine to me. If you ever experience crown damage from mites, just like being in love, you won't have to ask, you'll know. :)

I found a picture of mite damage to show you. It's pretty dramatic and very obvious.

Linda,
Wow, that is pretty obvious mite damage! *phew* I'm glad to see the crown on my AV is normal. Thanks again!
