From: "Weaver, Bill" <bill.weaver at hp.com> on 2004.07.07 at 23:06:07(11726) I can't see enough detail to be sure, but on dracunculus vulagaris I get that curled leaf effect when the plant gets more sunlight than it can handle. The discoloration might be sunburn, or it might be mites. In the case of the mites, look for teeny tiny yellow specles on the leaf and a kind of dry sheen from their tiny webs. As for control, there are as many possible ways to control them as there are types of mites. I use one of a variety of miticides but you might want to use Safers soap or some such.

I also posted pictures of a problem I'm having with a dracunculus vulagaris plant that I grew from a tuber. I initially overwatered this plant, but I don't think the problem stems from that -I'm wondering if some kind of pest is responsible for the leaves curling and being so brittle. Here's the URL of the page with the pictures: http://home.pacbell.net/rozgold/problem_aroids.html Again, any advice would be greatly appreciated, and let me know if you have any problems accessing the page or opening the pictures. -Roz, in Southern California
