| Negative | wormfood | On Jan 22, 2009, wormfood from Lecanto, FL (Zone 9a) wrote: I've had mine 3 years and the last 2 it's got the brown edges and poor appearance. I think I'm over watering. I've tried repotting, twice, and different places of sunlite and shade. It's got a big root system so it's in a big pot with lots of dirt that takes a long time to dry out. So that's all I can think of. It looks like tomato blight.
Put a large squirt of palmalive dish soap in gallon of water, soaked plant roots for a good half hour then flushed it from the soil and let it get pretty dry before watering again. Plant is doing great. Change this one to a positive. | | Positive | Joely08 | On Dec 6, 2008, Joely08 from Genoa, IL (Zone 5a) wrote: This plant, when grown correctly, is very beautiful. The colors on the plant, Green and Yellow-Green along with small white stripes separating the two colors provide beauty in any room of the house this is planted (I'm in zone 5A, it's an indoor plant.)
The plants name, fragrans, come because the flowers are said to be highly fragrant, yet I have been unsuccessful on getting this plant to flower. I read in various places that it won't flower until maturity and that potting the plant may affect flowering too. Definitely get this plant at any opportunity you have, it will provide much enjoyment to any indoor setting. | | Negative | chokolatedove | On Aug 22, 2008, chokolatedove from Compton, CA wrote: I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. But I have one that consistenly comes up with burned crispy edges. From my readings, it seems that it could be chemicals in the water. I am not sure what to do about this. It is indoors...and I haven't had any other problems other than this. I don't know what else to do. What else should I do? I'm not sure what zone I live in...But i have zillions of plants in my apartment and balcony. This is the only one that seems to have issues! And they all use the same water so what gives? | | Neutral | palmbob | On Jul 4, 2008, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: I think this plant does better in zone 9b in Florida than in California since I live right on the edge of zones 9b and 10a California and this is a super marginal plant here... most cannot grow it well outdoors unless they live in a warm 10a or 10b. This plant hates long periods of cool that we get here in Winter.... also hates full, hot, dry sun. But makes a decent indoor plant. |
