I've seen some discussion about this, but don't recall anything. Is this
the second thing that goes?
Hmmm, anyway, I've got a couple rocotos covered with blossoms but have
noticed some dropping off. The plants are in pots, get late am/noon/early
afternoon sun--in S. Ca--it's been hot the last couple weeks--high 90's to
low 100's.
Any suggestions or pointers?
For the most part our plants have recovered completely from my use of
laundry detergent for insects. It worked, I mean the insects (aphids, white
fly, hornworms) really haven't even come back, but most of the plants lost
ALL of their leaves. But they all survived and look great now, 'cept for
the tomatoes.
The rocotos were some of the few that didn't get stripped bare, although
they were definitely set back.
Thanks,
Riley
