Calgary Alberta CanadaQ.Bizzy Lizzy leaves
The new leaves on my indoor Bizzy Lizzies which are forming are growing abnormally. They have uneven edges and look as if a caterpillar has been munching on them. As I mentioned, they are indoors and there is no sign of any bugs anywhere near them. They are not discoloured and the plants looks very healthy otherwise. Any ideas what is causing the irregularly shaped leaves?

Certified ExpertA.This can be caused by a pH swing, as well as pests. Use dolomitic lime to control the pH, and use neem oil, rosemary oil, garlic extract, or clove oil for pest deterrent.

Certified ExpertA.This is caused by the age of the bloom, and ultimately, the age of the plant. There is nothing to be done, as this is the natural process.

June 26, 2018Q.Double impatients
I have Double Impatiens in a hanging basket. They get lots of light and very little sun. The plants have produced a great number of buds which open into flowers and the flowers, almost immediately, fall off. Why is this happening?
