I found tiny little bugs crawling through the core, and there was only one, difficult to see entry point at the base of the plant. they were very small, and light of colour. but the plant was already in flower for a week or so. but it didn't die off like that...all the sudden a branch just died, and broke off, which is when I found the bugs. there were loads of them, only inside.
maybe there's internal rot at the base? maybe a fungus in the wool?
I'm just shooting thoughts. very strange for how old it is... |
