Grape growing damaged leaves


Question

Grape 1
Hi,
I wonder if you'd be able to help me with my Ornamental Grape?

It seems to be growing torn and damaged leaves and I wonder if something is eating it. I can't find any bugs however. Though once I did see a tiny white insect on the stem. Now however, I can't see any.

Also I notice these tiny white balls on the stem and under the leaves.

The plant is in a pot in semi-shade. It is late summer in Melbourne, Australia.

Answer
Hi again Mal, Part again is from the aphids and the other on the leaves may be a burn from wind if it was very cold,  fertilizer burn if you used the wrong fertilizer.  Not enough water, maybe you missed and let it dry out too much?  This will give you some things to think about.  If it fact it is in a pot in the shade and you have a dish under it, you must empty the water out of the dish after 15 minutes.  You could check out atomic grow for an organic product.  kathy
