Wilts

Wilts, short for "Wilts Disease," is a condition affecting plants where the vascular system (the tissue that transports water and nutrients) becomes blocked or damaged. This impairs the plant’s ability to water its tissues properly, causing it to wilt, droop, and look unhealthy. It can be caused by pests, fungal infections, or environmental stress. Unlike regular wilting from drought, wilts are often caused by pathogens or insects that specifically attack the plant’s internal transport system, leading to a sudden or gradual decline in health if not treated.
