What do you call the disease when a plant won’t bear fruit or grow?
The Gardener’s Answer
Hello, Nannette in Rome: When any plant is not growing or producing fruit as it should be, this means it is under some sort of stress. Not knowing exactly what kind of plant you are referring to, I cannot give you specifics in terms of light, soil, and optimal growing conditions. As with all plant material, it is best to give it optimal growing conditions in order for it to thrive. Nutrient-rich, well-drained soil is also important for fruit-bearing plants. Good air circulation is essential for reducing the possibility of insect and disease problems. If this is a fruit-bearing plant, it will most likely need to be grown in a space where it will receive a minimum of six hours of direct sunlight. If you can give me more details about the plant you are growing, I would be happy to elaborate. Any information about the physical characteristics of the plant, where it is growing, how long you have had it, and if you know what it is would be helpful.
