young abutilon with aphids

9 years ago

So I ordered an abutilon plant from Annie's Annuals a couple months ago. It looked good. Then I noted aphids in the new growing points. I made my own insecticidal soap and man did it work. But then later I saw more aphids. So I sprayed again. Only the leaf tip margins got burnt from the soap.

The problem I have now is the new leaves that are coming out are kind of wrinkled. Is that residual from the soap or from the aphid damage? At one point I cut off two growing points because I had had enough and figured I should just let a new growing point start fresh but the leaves still come out wrinkly/puffy. Maybe they will normalize when the leaves get bigger?

Anyone who knows what I'm dealing with I'd be very appreciative of your advice. Thanks!
