FIRST AID FOR THE CALABASH PLANT




I was shocked to find that the Calabash plant in the school Herb Garden doesn't look too good. The leaves at the end of the vine appear to be very small and also a bit shrivelled. Puan Asiah and Puan Kamariah suspect that pesticide used on the weeds must have and somehow been absorbed by the plant. Altogether there are about 4 Calabash plants in the garden and all don't look too healthy.
I am planning with Puan Asiah and Puan Bazuaniza to use PH filtered water to water the plant tomorrow morning and we are also thinking of washing the leaves one by one to see if that works. Any one out there who can give some advice on what to do to save the Wu Lou plant?
