Your friend inspected that plant, and advised you to toss it? Your friend is no expert. In future, ask his advice on plant matters for entertainment purposes only. Good luck. -granger
Broad mites. Cut off and scope the underside of one of the twisted looking leaves with a 100X scope. You are looking for eggs. They are microscopic, so you must have a scope and look carefully. The twisting & distorted leaves are a sign, though.
Get a scope and take a long hard look at the bottom of the leaves. Personally I e never dealt with broad mites, but that does look suspiciously like insect damage. Eliminate that possibility first.
Wind burn was also mentioned, and I have seen leaves look exactly like that from being directly in the wind blast from my circulation fans.
Ya the fan is blow n right on them .. Fan burn smh . never would of looked at that as a posable prob .. I will adjust that .. Sprayed with neem oil hopefully that will do the trick thanks for the input
