The Canna Lily Leaf roller

The Canna Leaf Roller can cause extensive damage to your Canna leaves. These caterpillars start to feed on the underside of the leaf and web leaves together with silk strands. They then continue to disseminate your leaf and then pupate within the rolled leaf and emerge as a moth. The life cycle is the complete within 40 days.
Easy options as to how to eradicate this pest.

Anytime I see a hole in a leaf I spray right away. Thanks for that information about the rolled leaf. You look gorgeous.

[@redsoilgardener]

Thank you, we love our Cannas.

[@Sha_8786]

Thank you for the information. I was wondering why my canna leaf was starting to get holes in it.I knew something was chewing on it.but I didn’t know exactly what it could have been.

[@redsoilgardener]

Glad I could help Rashada

[@patriciahamlin7677]

Driving me Crazy! I'm going to try Diatomaceous earth. On the Ms Coast I still have lots of season ahead. Thanks for the update!

[@redsoilgardener]

Do you have leaf rollers? Good luck and cross our fingers.

[@patriciahamlin7677]

YES Ma'am. 2nd year plants. I have mine Potted in the Breezeway actually 1/2 day Sun. How much heat and sun can they tolerate? 🌺

[@craigrogers3864]

Thanks for this, I was wondering what it was ⭐️

[@redsoilgardener]

Its the leaf roller, thanks for following our channel Craig.

[@teenagardner3623]

Thank you so much for your great information and friendly presentation.

[@redsoilgardener]

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. Always a pleasure.

[@VelerieBridges]

I have little green frogs living in my leavers and rollers

[@redsoilgardener]

No matter what I do, I still find that linear holes on my cannas leaves. I too have let it be.. at least the frogs have a home.

[@melcerra2375]

I get these in Kansas on my cannas and my brassica plants my vegetable garden. I use Bacillus Thuringiensis. I just can’t get them under control manually. BT is a natural bacteria in soil so it’s safe for plants and other animals. It’s even safe on edible plants.

[@redsoilgardener]

Thanks for sharing Mel will definitely check it out. Grateful.

[@jeneendove906]

😢so sorry to see that, Alice.

[@redsoilgardener]

Thank you, for your lovely comment, we love our Cannas.

[@anngore3842]

Having the same problem. Absolutely fed up with them. Ruined a lot of my beautiful plants.

[@redsoilgardener]

Oh no! Ann try to find an organic pesticide for chewing insects. The problem is that there is a 40 day cycle. Try to nip it at the bud. Thanks for following our channel.

[@mauricechatigny1066]

Merci ,je ne savais pas que c'était ca j'en ai tué une cet été,une seule avait fait beaucoup de dégâts

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Maurice, sorry for your loss. Thank you for following my channel.

[@hydrangeaparadise674]

Thanks god I don’t have that on my canna Lilly yet 🙏🏼 I’m a gardener who have phobia of worms and caterpillars 😳

[@redsoilgardener]

We just keep our fingers crossed. But it is good to know, once you see the linear holes on the leaves. Thanks for following our channel.

[@franceslock2058]

What do you spray the roots with ? I never dug my lilies for the winter but might dig them up early spring spray and replant

[@redsoilgardener]

I actually only use Neem spray on all my plants, as its a fungicide, pesticide etc. The reason being its organic and not harmful to pets. And I have my little babies ( dogs) who constantly forage in the garden. We did an episode three weeks ago on Neem oil. Have a look at it.

[@shoja7264]

I do not love caterpillars and they actually move really really fast!!! When I find them, they jump right off and disappear into the dirt

[@redsoilgardener]

love your comment!

[@lovecoversall123]

Hi Alice👋😀 from Virginia,USA...I was wondering, since I have a 4x12 ft. raised garden box, if I could just cut my Cannas back instead of digging them up and storing them?

[@becdowd9921]

why are you not mentioning spraying insects with a mild soapy water? Have you really never tried this? Curious.

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Bec, many of these insects such as the mealy bug or aphid can be eradicated by using a mixture of mild dish washing liquid mixed with water. I do use this method. However, if the infestation is overpowering then I use the commercial products.

[@BMBuso]

I will try neem oil. I love my cana more than those nasty bugs

[@redsoilgardener]

Yes we all love Cannas. Happy gardening.

[@TammyButler-TheWoodlands-Texas]

Im way down here in south Texas, super humid and hot. Tried Neem Oil as I use it for most of my garden. I tried it on multiple occasions. It did not work. 🤠

[@stephanietownsend2771]

Can you unroll the leaf

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Stephanie, with regards to the leaf roller you could unroll it, and get rid of the moth larvae. But it really depends on stage of infestation. If it's not critcal then I would suggest cutting off the infested leaves and get rid of them , not in the compost. However, if it's critical there pesticides that solely attack caterpillars. In this case, they may affect your pollinators. When spraying I would remove the Canna flowers when using these pesticides in order to save the bees etc.

[@stephanietownsend2771]

My cannas in the last 2 days have had a slug on them. And i would like to send u pict.s of my cannas. Something is wrong. PLEASE HELP😢

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Stephanie pls do DM me the photos and also explain what is happening to the cannas

[@readingmaniac54]

Anytime I see a hole in a leaf I spray right away

[@redsoilgardener]

Yes sending greeting from Nairobi, Kenya. Thanks for following our channel.

[@karolettejames229]

Jackie collins's

[@redsoilgardener]

Hi Karolette, kindly explain, thanks.

[@franceslock2058]

I don't love those moths. I am thinking of getting rid of my cannia Lilly's. They are never beautiful

[@redsoilgardener]

Please dont get rid of your Cannas. The leaf roller once the catapillar evolves into a moth it flies away. Send me a message stating what wrong with your cannas, with photo and lets see how to rejuvenate your Cannas

[@bugpal]

Please don't destroy and poison everything. It's just leaf holes.

[@redsoilgardener]

Thank you for sharing, understood.
