hi all,

i've got 2 young (approx 10 month old) avocado plants. they've been
growing well since i planted them, but recently they've started
developing... what i hope is a curable problem.

the lower leaves started becoming brown and dry, as in they've started
dying, and slowly this brown is spreading up both the plants.

even leaves which have sprouted not too long ago have brown
developing, not from the edges like how normal leaves die, but from
smatterings of brown from the centers of the leaves.

i'm not a very experienced gardener but i've gotten attached to these
plants...

At this time of the year I find mine needs prodigious amounts of water.
