What's Wrong?

My baby pickle plant has started to look not well. Some of its leaves are dying and it's stem it's browning and hardening in places and it's developing and very unstable lean like it could snap. Some of the newer leaves also have this strange white stuff on them.

I only water when the soil is very dry using a moister meter and it's currently sat on a windowsill of a southwest facing window. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. #pickleplant #plantpeach

It looks like you’ve possibly got spider mites :( It’s hard to tell for sure but the signs are there and it looks like there’s some mites on the middle leaves. I would use systemic in the soil, dust the whole plant with ditamateous earth to kill any mites on the leaves (be careful not to breathe it in or do it around animals, when it’s a powder it’s not safe to inhale), then spray it wet and wipe off all the leaves. That’s been the fastest way for me to get rid of spider mites in my home and save the plant! Good luck to you 🌱✨
