Here's a couple self-explanatory pics. What am I doing wrong? I have it beside an East window, I keep the soil moist and I feed it with an 8-7-6. The leaves were doing this before I fed it so I'm sure it's not the fertilizer.

No, I don't. Guess I will now. Thanks Weezie, I didn't even think of that.

i don't know this plant.

just a couple thougths - general ideas...

maybe they need a bigger pot? or one with better (or less) drainage?

ChristinaC : I don't know this plant myself but your soil sure looks wet my just be the photo also the white on top of the soil could it be salt from a water softener? Or could be Pearlite. I save my old water bottles where I buy water for my AV's as our water will kill them in a hurry. I put a little bit of Red Apple wine vinegar in the jug then fill with water I then let it set until I need it also put a cap of vinegar in my dogs water and I drink some in water every night for arthritis. I bottom water everything .I have nothing that I water from above the soil. This may or may not help you. I use all organic products most I make myself so I have no chemicals in mine at all.

sorry, i've been away. let's hope people are still checking this thread! my moses plant is getting crispy at the ends and although i thought the problem had been resolved, now that there's lots of growth, more and more leaves are turning brown. for the first time yesterday i noticed a tiny white bug, caterpillar-shaped but only about 3mm long. could this be a problem?

i don't think water quality, fertilizer, or pot size are the issues because i have 2 plants and the other is fine. my first thought was a spell of over-watering in the fall, and i guess i could have done it again. but when i make cuttings, i place it in a bowl of water until there are tons of roots. the plant is happiest in all water. hmmm. thanks again!

I have one. How do you take cuttings from it?

PM coming your way...

You have to put your photos with another service .

Here is the easiest PHOTOBUCKET.COM
You put you photo on there first . After you upload the photo.
Go to the bottom of the photo, it says IMG
click that
turns blue
right click your mouse
select copy
Then go to where you want the photo to appear.
Right click again and select paste.
That should do it .....

;o)

thank you so much! that took all of 5 minutes!

I apologize Dodge..I didn't see your post about wanting a cutting.
I've been watering with distilled water and I think that's all it needed all along. You can see how much better my plant looks now...lots of new growth!

pumpie,

I can see that now ......did you check for bugs under the leafs? White fly is a large problem here since january..I spary mine with water and dish detergent.. Mix teaspoon in water..
Or is it by any chance rootbound? If there is a hole in the bottom see if the roots are coming out..
I am going to keep that photo and see if anyone knows .

Dodge- your cuttings are amazing. Thank you I'll post your cutting after the weekend, now I know what to do!

No roots yet, but the leaf looks perfectly happy in some water.

Sorry, Dodge, I meant the cutting I took off of my plant for you. It looks very healthy in it's cup of water- but I don't see any roots yet. It's early days though! I'll be mailing it out to you tomorrow regardless. Hope you get it soon!
