My honeysuckle leaves are yellowing with spots. How can I stop this?

This is probably caused by a lack of Fertilizer or water, depending on your geographical location. It may also be possible that the plant is receiving too much sun, or, if it's a hot summer, the heat could cause the leaves to wilt in the manner that you are suggesting.

If the spots are grey, it might be a powdery mildew (google rhs org uk for honeysuckle problems) Keep young plants well watered during summer, and add mulch to mature plants annually. If you do this, your leaves should be better next year!

First of all, check leaves for insects or fungus problem. If spots turn into holes, fungus is the culprit. Certain times of the year when plants receive less sun, yellowing leaves naturally occur. Remove affected areas, keep leaves raked up from around plant, and use insecticides or fungicide sprays to eliminate these problems.
