Leaf yellowing
Leaf yellowing is a common disease affecting Winter heath 'Adrienne Duncan', leading to discoloration and potential decline in plant health.
Yellow edges
Yellow edges' results from combining largely environmental stresses with possible pathogen involvement affecting Winter heath 'Adrienne Duncan' leading to yellowing and potential die-off of foliage, impacting aesthetics and health.
Dark blotch
Dark blotch is a fungal disease affecting Winter heath 'Adrienne Duncan'. It causes unsightly discolorations and weakened growth. The disease generally worsens in humid conditions and can significantly impede plant vigor and aesthetic value.
Leaf tip withering
Leaf tip withering on 'Winter heath 'Adrienne Duncan'' is a condition often caused by dehydration or fungal infection, leading to declining plant health and reduced floral display if not addressed.
Aged yellow and dry
Natural aging can cause leaves to turn yellow and dry out.
Solutions: If the yellowing and drying of leaves and flowers is a natural progression due to age, nothing can be done to slow or stop the process. Once hormones within the plant begin the process of senescence, it’s irreversible.

Aged yellow and dry
Natural aging can cause leaves to turn yellow and dry out.
Overview
Regardless of the type of plant or where it is grown, at some point, it will begin to aged yellow and dry. This is a natural, unavoidable process that happens when the plant has completed all of the steps in its life.
Annual plants go through this process at the end of a single growing season. Perennial plants live for multiple years, if not tens or hundreds of years, but will still ultimately exhibit these symptoms.
Symptom Analysis
When plants have progressed through their natural developmental stages and are nearing the end of their lifecycle, they begin showing signs of decline. Leaves will start to yellow and droop, and over time they turn papery brown and dry.
Once completely dry, the leaves begin to fall from the plant until the entire plant has dried out.
Disease Cause
At the end of its life, genetic coding within the plant increases the production of ethylene, a phytohormone that controls senescence or natural aging and death. Cell division stops, and the plant begins catabolizing resources to use in other parts of the plant.
As this happens, the tissues begin yellow and drying until the entire plant is desiccated and perishes.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent plants from dying of “old age.” To help prolong their life, and put off symptoms of aged yellow and dry for as long as possible, take care of them by giving them enough water, fertilizing them appropriately, and making sure they get enough sunlight.
