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.

Corn in the Florida Keys

9 years ago

What started out as a joke between me and my wife but I now have 3 giant stalks of corn growing in a container with 12 inches of soil. It was looking pretty damn good for a while, very green and shiny but its starting to look a bit ragged. I think some bugs are getting to it but I'm not sure if that's the problem. I'm not sure if I even have a problem or if corn supposed to look like that.. Any thoughts?

    It's army worms, from moths that lay eggs on the plants at night. Whitish patches of eggs on or under leaves. Worms deep inside the leaf stalks during the day. You can try spraying with spinosad, but at this point they look pretty damaged from your pics. That debris you see on the leaves is worm droppings.
