My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Disease or pest?

17 years ago

I have a hibiscus that is slowly dying. New leaves are small and stunted, branches are bare and twiggy. I have treated the plant for spider mites when I saw webs on it. I can no longer detect webs. Dark brown blotches on the leaves appear and the green leaves turn yellow and fall off. If I look through a magnifying glass, the leaves look like they have a fine coat of dust on them. Any suggestions?
