Need Help!

The center of my plant keeps dieing, limb by limb, one limb at a time. Whats going on?

Could this possibly be ants? I've noticed a few ants, just a couple crawling around on the plant here and there.

Wet?

I'm not sure what your asking.

Check the crotch or the stems where they come together on the trunk. Are there any small holes? There are worms and beatles that bore into the stem and they will kill one branch at a time. Probably not ants unless they are rasta carpanta

What can I do to prevent this? A little horticulture safe paint on that area?
I'd hate to do it, but some seven spray on the plant stalk?

Are you using cinder blocks for the bed frame?
Have you checked the roots for pests?

Also, it looks like some of your plants have outgrown the space. They seem to be hitting the roof of your structure. How hot does it get in there? Is the whole area closed off? Looks like steel fencing and some type of transparent tarp.

Ciderblocks Yes! Enlighten me please?!!!!

You could try pulling one side of the cinder block frame to check the plant for root pests.

good idea! Thanks! I thought for sure you were going to tell me there's something in the cinder blocks that's bad for plants! lmao
