Pale Corkscrew Vine Leaves

19 years ago

I planted some corkscrew vines about 2 months back. I have had a series of problems with them. First they got attacked by a caterpillar. Then i thought they were getting to much light because they started to get brown tips. Recently i have noticed a black powder on them and having been thinking it's some kind of fungus. Now they are very pale, a light yellow green. What is going on with my corkscrew vines? Is it the fungus causing them to be yellow? Maybe a not enough nutrients? Help me save my seedlings

Never had an issue with fungus or mildew on the leaves of Vigna caracalla before but I always had the plants in full sun. Have had an issue with less than fully green leaves and used a solution of 2 tablespoons of epsom salts in a gallon or so of water to help get the leaves to green up again. You may have to apply the solution two or three times to get the leaves to green up.

I would also advise you to move the plants back into mostly sun and make sure they are given good air circulation. This should help if your issue really is fungus related.
