I am starting to worry about my Veitchii plants I have in my office. They have been growing good for the past few years. This past month or so, I have found that a lot of the bottom leaves of the two big plants I have have had their leaves turning yellow then then to brown. The brown leaves had dried up. I water them once a week and have been cutting off the dead leaves. Do you have any suggestions as I do not want to have them die on me.
I have been taking real good care of them all these years and do not know the solution. I tried to send a picture of those leaves but am having trouble downloading them on your attach a picture. My plant looks amazing with new growth, however this just started happening with the leaf? Do you have any idea what is causing this? Also, I have a bird of paradise that was doing well and now seems to have stopped growing. There is a new leaf that has been there for approximately two months yet does not grow or open, also the one leaf is curling in and turning brown.
Any suggestions? Thank you so much. Maybe the smell of the product will temporarily discourage visits? Spring is only about 70 days ago with a lot of other challenges!
Hi thank you for your assistance. It has been happily growing in a bay window with lots of indirect light. Furthermore at the base of the branches at the trunk, there are woody bulbous-like formations. How can I help this plant? Thank you. Or if I should wait until spring or if I should wait until next fall? After the flowers are done I remove them, but I leave the leaves on until it is time to force dormancy in September.
I understand the critical role the leaves play in building up the bulbs energy for the following year. Some people suggest leaving the stem on the bulb until it begins to wilt as it too participates in photosynthesis.
