I'm not sure if it's resilient or not we have not seen it yet about 1 month ago.

Hi, You can check the overall growth of the plant just by a small check over leaves - if you find any abnormal patches like curls, spots, or worm eaten or any other irregularities happened in leaves of the plant, then it could be a sign of diseases. Take a look at the common disease affecting plants and trees here. https://ariesagro.com/
