| I split my lady's mantle into three last year, & all three spawnlings did very well. This year one of them has started curling its leaves under. The leaves are a healthy colour & the stems are still erect. No sign of insect or pest damage.
Any suggestions? |

| Have you checked to see if something isn't eating the roots? Sometimes when leaves start acting weird, it's a root problem. Kevin |

| or a frost/freeze issue this time of year in z5 and yes.. it can hit one of a group .. need a picture to go much further .. ken |

| I'll check the roots for grubs & ants. If it's thermal cycling then it'll probably survive. I'll try a light feed after the frosts. Thanks! |

| NEVER fertilize a stressed plant ... do you force feed sick kids??? let it do its thing.. before you love it to death ... ken |
|
| that's why I'll feed it very lightly next month, after the thermal cycling stresses are done, & not heavily right now. :-) If it still looks sick I'll forgo the feed. I checked.. nothing seems to be wrong with the roots: no grubs, other nibblers, or mushiness. |
