The only Aroid that is having a tough time in my garden is the Alo x protora. It is supposed to be easy to grow. My Alo macro growing next to it at the East facing wall is doing very well. The pup that was already emerging when I planted it has melted away. The main plant is slowly yellowing from oldest to newest leaves. It is not the normal process of older leaves dying. I keep the plant a bit moist but not soggy. I fed it some high nitrogen mainly organic. Is this a tough one to grow for others? Maybe too much fert too soon after planting?
Thanks, Dave
