Help...about 2 weeks ago I bought a beautiful, healthy looking Luna Moth Ginger at the Mobile Botanical Garden plant sale. It is now sitting in front of my house, eastern exposure and some of the leaves are turning sort of a yellowish brown. Any ideas about what I'm doing to the poor thing? Thanks so much. Rlizard

I have 30 of the Hedychium Coronarium in 5-gal. containers. They prefer shaded and moist environment. If it hasn't bloomed yet, you could cut away the yellow part. After blooming, the leaves turn yellow then brown, in this case I just cut off the stalk near the base.
