Angel Trumpet Leaf Spots, Holes, and Yellowing: Heavy Feeder Needs More Food and Water

Angel trumpets bloom well but leaves develop burnt-looking spots that become holes, then yellow and drop. Photos show calla lilies in background, suggesting possible underwatering.

Diagnosis: Low Fertility and Possible Fungal Stress

Melissa notes angel trumpets are heavy feeders and prefer consistently moist soil. The symptoms indicate nutrient deficiency and secondary fungal issues.

Recovery Plan

1. Spray with neem oil (organic, controls insects, mites, fungus).
2. Remove all yellowed leaves from plant and ground.
3. Feed heavily with balanced fertilizer every two weeks during active growth.
4. Water more frequently; ensure good drainage.

With increased nutrition and moisture, the plant should recover vigorously.
