Recent Question from Gardeners
Question
Coleus
Something is eating the leaves of my coleus. What to do?
Answer
Sounds like you may have a slug problem on your coleus, slugs damage plants by eating the leaves and stems. To control slugs use a common slug bait from your local nursery. There are also systemic insecticides and insecticidal soaps on the market that will protect against slugs. Before you use any insecticides I recommend you closely investigate to pin point the culprit.
