this is my first time on any forum site, but I come to you needing help! I'm a newby to houseplants, but have always loved and admired them. I bought myself an Ioxora (name on the care instructions) and everything was going fine 'til I went away for chrsitmas and left it in a wee bowl of water so it didn't dry out (as directed in the crare instructions). I am now back and find it's leaves are starting to drop and go a bit dry (a paler shade of green) looking around the edges, yet it was kept watered whilst I was away by the landlady.
I have posted (with any luck) a photo of it, and hope someone can help me. (I also have another plant that is in the same situation, a calendiva... it's not dropping leaves but was left and now the stems seem a bit sodden)
Just so I don't feel bad coming to you all only for help! I hope over time I too will be able to offer advice and knowledge, but I'm new to all this... my room at Uni didn't allow for plants as my new place does.
