An 11-year-old grower's D. capensis (broad leaf, 3 heads, lots of dew) lost two heads and dew after a 2-week vacation (rain and saucers kept others alive). Leaves deforming.
Jeff Dallas: Unpot and inspect roots/stem for a cutworm (caterpillar). Remove if found. Cut off the entire top, repot with roots barely visible. New shoots appear in ~3 weeks. Consider spraying with systemic insecticide (e.g., Bayer Rose & Flower).
