@WiredKale is it turning yellow or brown? If itβs turning yellow Aphids. Large colonies of rusty plum aphids leave Virginia creeper foliage curled, wilted, distorted and yellowed. These insects drink sap from the plant's tender new stems and leaves. ... Checking Virginia creeper's new growth twice weekly is the best way to discover and control aphid infestations when they're small. Yellowing leaves on plants may often be a sign of too little or too much water or nutrients which can affect plant performance. Your plant may also be located in too much light where it is scorching, or too little light where it is fading due to an inability to photosynthesize properly. If itβs turning brown, brown spots are more likely fungal infections. Leaf spot diseases in creepers are caused by any of several fungi that thrive on moist leaf surfaces. Brown to black spots develop on the leaves of infected plants. These spots often come together to form larger patches of dead tissue. If its Aphidβs or a fungal disease you can spray it with Neem Oil or Bonide 775 Copper Fungicide. Both can possibly be purchased at your local nursery, COOP or you can order it off of Amazon. Iβm not sure if you have stores similar to Home Depot or Lowes near you, but you can buy fungicide there.
I'm not sure where you are, but in my neck of the woods, Virginia Creeper is the queen of "weeds". Technically, I don't considered a weed because I like it.οΏΌ (:
The leaves will turn all sorts of colors depending on the sun and the rain and how dry it is.
