I have 2 Cape Myrtles that have been established in my yard since approximately 2009. I just noticed some webbing on the blooms and some small white nodules on some branches. Has anyone else experienced this, or have any idea what is going on? #HappyPlants

Planted yesterday, leaves drooping! Planted yesterday by professional. He said water 8 gallons a day for 3 weeks. But soil around root was soaked this morning, so only gave 3-4 gallons, then 3 more a few hours later. Definitely more blossoms today, but the leaves are droopy and a few have yellow-brown spots. Is it just shock and should recover, or am I over/under-watering? Iām also adding some pics of some of the leaves. Only a few are like this.
