Tetrapanax help!

Thank you Chad. I'm amazed at how much like a child this plant feels to me haha. Went out today to inspect, edges of the leaf on the most affected leaf are starting to curl now, but other than that no change. I did however find a little caterpillar on the leaf with the holes in it (so that at least ...

Tetrapanax help!

What do you mean by real soil? There is nowhere else it can go in the garden other than that raised bed - if I took out some of the compost and replaced with topsoil would that help? Thank you

Photo still hasn't been approved - but this morning the brown patches are bigger and another of the leaves has started to get the faded patches 😳

Tetrapanax help!

Hi all, thanks for your replies - the growing tip is fine (I think) it's just on one of the new leaves there are these thin, faded patches that have now gone light brown in the middle.
