Default Re: Torn,spotty and leaves and water lose?

That looks like damage at the spear stage. Something - a snail or grasshopper or even just a stiff wind or sun-scortch - is causing superficial damage to the spear and it's growing out to look like that. Mine gets that periodically. Dunno about the white stuff - could just be white stuff, or powdery mildew. But - powdery mildew usually occurs when there's high humidity, low light and poor air circulation - doesn't look like that's the case for you.

Be well,
Mike

I also noticed that there is a white powder substance on the plant as well?
There are also pictures showing the pup when it first sprouted and where its at now with the same problem as the mother plant.
Hopefully the pictures are clear enough for you all to get a good idea as to the condition of the plants.
Please let me know if they are not and I will try and get better pictures to post.

Thank you for all your help
Les
