For some reason my red current plant is not growing anymore and its leaves are turning shriveled and semi-brown. Lack of watering is not the issue. I live in San Diego County in a pretty temperate climate so perhaps the Sun strength is too much? #RedCurrant

Hi!! Hey guys! , this is Magnolia, for a month since I changed her pot, she has been losing leaves that when they fall they look completely black, some leaves have black spots, she is outside in my patio, she gets no more than three or four hours of sun a day but indirectly, because she’s under a tent. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what she's up to? Thank you! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict
