Use insecticidal soap spray twice — once for the first application then 5 to 7 days later to get the next generation. Check underneath leaves every week to catch any new infestations. CAUSE: Spider mites are minuscule relatives of spiders with four pairs of legs, no antennae and sharp mouths that pierce plant cells and suck out the fluids, leaving behind yellow, orange or white speckles.
A single spider mite female can produce thousands of new mites in less than a month, so they can quickly become a real nuisance. Before bringing a new plant into your indoor garden, give it a thorough bath on tops and bottoms of leaves--spider mites need dry conditions -- and keep it isolated from others for a week while you check the underside of leaves for signs of the crawling pests or their tiny egg sacs.
To the naked eye, they look like tiny threads. The pests feed by puncturing plants and sucking out the sap inside, creating the streaks. Thrips also attack flower buds and can spoil your entire crop. Neem stays active for 5 to 7 days -- repeat the treatment two to three times at 7- to day intervals to ensure you've eliminated all of the pests and any new generations hatching.
The larva are wingless and will leap when jarred. Apply neem immediately when you see the pests to stop this fast-growing population. The nymphs are translucent and can appear to be the same color as the leaves. Both nymphs and adults suck the fluids from new growth, which causes fresh leaves to be stunted or twisted. Like aphids, whiteflies secrete honeydew that is colonized by black sooty mold. The traps alone can protect a few plants, but in larger indoor gardens they work best as an early warning system so you can notice an infestation before it spreads.
Blistered areas on leaf edges that causes them to curl upward. Flower buds may be white on the outside and never open. Eventually, severely infected leaves turn brown -- the coating blocks light from reaching them -- then drop.
The fungi flourish in highly humid conditions and where there is little ventilation. The sulfur creates conditions that prevent it from growing and spreading. CAUSE: Nitrogen deficiency always affects the oldest lowest leaves first, because when new leaves aren't getting enough of the nutrient to sustain their growth, the plant redirects it from the existing leaves.
As plants get close to harvest, it's normal for them to show signs of a nitrogen deficiency. At that stage, you want the plant to direct all of its energy into the fruit or flowers rather than growing new leaves. Have you recently moved the plant or changed any of it's other conditions?
Ficus are a bit picky about being moved but they are hard to kill without actually trying. The leaves on ficus will often turn brown if they don't have enough sun, too much sun, too little water Sometimes it is just low humidity.
Check for spider mites and other pests too, they like the indoor plants and low humidity really brings them out. Sitting in water is bad for ficus, good for bald cypress. Hang in there! Tally HO! Succulent Care? Succulent Help!
Winter water needs of adenium seedlings? Wrinkled buddleia leaves? There is a distinct difference between cupped or wavy leaf margins and "wrinkled leaves".
I can't imagine the leaves of F religiosa being wrinkled as a drought response caused by a high level of salts in the soil solution, under-watering, or over-watering, so I'm left to think that it might be the leaf margins being described. If so, it would likely be from photo-exposure high side or if it's occurring only in new leaves, from one of a couple possible micro-nutrient deficiencies.
Not enuf info. Right and there was no response from the OP so maybe we won't ever know. I have one I just picked up that's doing that but it's clearly a 'trait' of the tree. The leaves are about the same size as a standard ficus b. Just a little different. There's nothing wrong with the tree as far as health. This is just an interesting trait and very pretty when there is a lot of new foliage.

Jade plant , Crassula arborescens, is considered an easy-to-grow species but it can have its problems in humid South Florida where mildew and root rot are common. Skip the misting recommended for most house plants ; moisture on the foliage should be limited to wiping dust from the glossy leaves with a damp cloth.
How to Water Jade Plants. Jade plants are succulents they hold water in their leaves , so they don't do well when sitting in constantly moist soil, so let the top 1 to 2 inches of soil dry out between waterings.
Indoors, this will probably mean watering once every 2 to 3 weeks—but be sure to check regularly! The best way to tell whether your succulent is being over or underwatered is by the appearance of the leaves. An underwatered plant will have wrinkly, shriveled up leaves whereas an overwatered plant will have soft, mushy, almost translucent leaves. A healthy Jade plant has water-filled leaves that are thick and firm to the touch.
Affected roots may also fall off the plant when touched. The leaves of affected plants may also wilt, become small or discolored. Affected plants may also look stunted due to poor growth, develop cankers or ooze sap. Prune the jade plant just above one of the brown rings around a stem, called a leaf scar, with sharp pruning shears or a sharp knife.
Two new stems will sprout at the pruning site, so select the stem to prune based on where you want the jade plant to be thicker and fuller.
Although in their native habitat, jade plants grow in full sun , jade plants kept in a house are not used to intense, direct sunlight. Placed outside in an exposed location on a sunny day, the wide leaves can get too much sun and develop scorched brown spots. Wilted, overwatered plants are not always a lost cause. Move your plant to a shady area even if it is a full-sun plant. Check your pot for proper drainage and, if possible, create additional air space around the roots.
Water only when the soil is dry to the touch, but do not let it get too dry. Treat with a fungicide. Leaf curl can be controlled by applying sulfur or copper-based fungicides that are labeled for use on peaches and nectarines. When the lower leaves curl under, make sure you aren't overwatering the plant. The soil should never be soggy. Allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings, and then give the plant as much water as the soil can hold. The excess water should drain freely though the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot.
