Pest and Disease

A diseased plant, whether it's a beloved houseplant, an ornamental in the landscape, or a statement piece in your garden, can be heartbreaking to lose. Any impairment of the plant caused by pests (nematodes, mites, gnats, and more), infectious pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or nematodes), or environmental factors (root rot and fungi) can lead to wilting, brown spots, and overall poor growth. Common examples include powdery mildew, rust, blight, and various leaf spots, all of which impact plant health. Here, we cover the most common plant pests and diseases so you can keep your plants healthy and thriving.
