Hi Shirley,

There are a number of plant species with the common name of moon flower, but I am going to guess you have a Datura plant, in which case you may be looking at any one of the following viruses: Datura wilt virus, Datura distortion mosaic virus, Datura rugose leaf curl virus, or Datura quercina virus—all exhibit the wilting symptom. It is important to know if it is a virus and which one it is before treating it. I suggest taking some tissue cuttings (leaves and stem) and sending the sample to your local Cooperative Extension Office for testing. They will tell you a course of action to take.
