Hello all!
I have a question that some of you much more experienced indoor plant people might know. My mother has a Kalanchoe that she is desperately trying to keep alive (my Dad bought it for her, they've been married 41 years :-)). It has already flowered for her in Dec. She cut off the spent blooms. She has watered it sparingly because the soil seemed moist. Right now some of the leaves look like they are soft and yellow like they are dying and 2 leaves have a white substance on them. She wasn't sure if it could be a mildew or scale insect or something. She is getting some new growth on top where she cut the flowers off but she is worried that if there is a problem with the plant and if she doesn't do something about it, she will lose it. She doesn't have much of a green thumb with indoor plants. If you could give me some insight, It would be greatly appreciated.:-) Thanks, Andrea
