Can I use the word “illness” as it pertains to plants? Where do they go after it has an “illness”? I know that some people are wrong, but I can’t find a credible source to prove which one is true or not. I can’t find any sentences of plant and illness on the web which leads me to believe my gut is correct. If anyone can suggest me some credible sources, I’d really appreciate it! Thank you

E, C, and E. for your insightful remarks.
