I just got back from vacation to find 25% of my leaves are dead? It looks like before they die it gets a funny look on the leaves. it appears to have a white almost moldy look. I never get the leaves wet and they got plenty of water the 2 weeks I was gone, what can I do?

It almost sounds like powdery mildew. You can't cure it, you can only keep it off new growth by treating with a fungicide like daconil. However, once it gets established, it's hard to control. It's best to treat you plants every other week, pretty much from the beginning.

I hope this helps.

I treat mine weekly. Don't forget to spray UNDER your leaves as well as the tops.
