I am soooooooo ready to toss this sucker. He is my favorite one of the bunch and he is really annoying me at the moment. I actually think he has a plant disease or something. I have tried everything under the sun. He hasn't been moved in two months. He's losing a major amount of leaves, It has slowed down from the 7-8 leaves lost a day to about 1-3 a day. I gave him a major rub down with rubbing alcohol, In case there were any bugs or anything on the surface that needed to be removed. The leaves aren't healthy when they drop off they have these black patches and the leaves curl up on themselves and die off. SOme of the newer ones do not have the perkiness that they should. They are looking rather weak. I fear now, even if I do a chop chop (cut away all growth) that i will still lose him. Whatever it is I fear it is beyond my control, unless the sell medicine for diseased plants...lol
Welp thats my sad tale for the day...lol
