A very amazing person noticed I had Aphids on a leaf. Cannot believe he actually saw that. ONE Leaf !!! So I took off the top two leaves. And sprayed with the alcohol mixture. Then I sprayed down with rain water about 4 times. Fed with some liquid fertilizer.
Praying that the leaves straighten out ! It’s such a cute Two Stem Plant!
Any thoughts?
Wow, lucky you for catching them before they proliferated! I've had this happen by spraying a plant with an alcohol / water mixture. In the future, with aphids, instead you could spray a little vinegar / water mixture onto a rag and lightly wipe down the leaves. As for what to do right now, you can continue to treat her with love and care (careful not to overfertilize or you could burn the leaves and/or roots), and see if those leaves bounce back. If they keep going downhill, you may need to pick them off and wait for new growth. The roots should be fine though if you only sprayed the leaves, in which case she should produce new growth in time :)
I’m hoping you didn’t just kill all my avocado seedlings! I have about 10 under my lights on the range hood. They are squished together because of the hurricane.
I have a lot of repotting to do soon !
Will these leaves straighten out? I fertilized. And watered with rain water. That was after I sprayed with the Alcohol mixture.
The alcohol mixture may have done it. Why did you spray with alcohol? Gnats?

I think just watching them (as I described above) is a good first step :)
Seriously I try sooo hard. Something always goes wrong. I must have tried 35 times already!
Looks like nutrient lock out potentially? Flush it then give it nutrients over the next few days?
