Lomandra Little Con problems

Lomandra Little Con is generally a hardy and low-maintenance plant that has few problems. However, like all living things, it can encounter some challenges. Over-watering is the most common issue. Symptoms include yellowing leaves, wilting, mushy stems, and plants turning black. To remedy, ensure good drainage and reduce your watering frequency. Yellowing or unevenly coloured leaves can indicate a nutrient issue and is easily corrected with garden fertiliser. Mealybugs will sometimes infest plants. They suck sap and leave a white, cottony residue. They are easily treated with a general insecticide. Fungal diseases are rare but can occur in overly damp conditions and are resolved by improving drainage and using a fungicide.
