Suddenly it is dying. Do you think it has a virus?
What terrible thing do you think I did to this one?? HELP!!
A closer look.
Even closer! LOL
THANKS for any help you can give me.
Kell that is awful! Is it solo or in a clump? Did it start with little blotches on the leaf or kind of happen over night? I don't think it is rust because that is usually splotches here and there! I'd dig it up if it's a solo or cut it to the ground if not. Check the rhizome and see if it's affected if you can. It almost looks burnt.

I don't have a clue :-(
Thanks X. Like a chemical burn doesn't it? It is in a pot, I just bought it last month and have no where to put it. It was such a different leaf and texture I needed it. LOL.
All the cannas I see in nurseries around here, are sick. I assume virused. So I fear this one too has something bad, though it does not look like the ones I see that are obviously distorted.
Thanks for your input.
Me too, Azreno! LOL
Have you fertilized? Could be fertilizer burn. Or underwatered? Sprayed with any chemicals? It looks cultural to me.
It looks like fertilizer burn to me. Did you use a fertilizer that is for plants in the ground, not pot plants?
Could it be hot water straight out of the holes?? Many possibilites but I dont think it is a bug or virus.
It definitely does NOT look well....
Could the roots have cooked from the heat wave we had?
Well the 2 stalks are dead now, the yellow color kept going down. I do have a new shoot about 10 inch tall that looks OK.
I do not know what happened. Nothing else cooked, Sue. The water does get real hot in the hose but I would have hit other things first with it.
This canna had the thickest red tinged leaves that were just beautiful which I why I bought it. And then they all turned a icky green. So I am not sure I even like it anymore. Do they change to the green when they get too much sun?
