EEeek! What is wrong with my plant?

Bring in a leaf sample (in a baggie, please).

The heat and the rain have created a lot of issues for many plants. Insects, fungus, leaf and root problems abound. We can help. Our staff will check out the problem and recommend the best course of action. Often, it is as simple as spraying the plant off with water or using a soap solution (as in the case of aphids).
