ReplyDeleteThank you for leaving your contact number here, Petani Modern.
Deletehi, I just bought this plant and was upset to see white spots on the underside of its leaves. what can I do to save it? spots look like 'stationary' insects. Appreciate some advice. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi, use some dish detergent soap to spray/disrupt the bugs. Dilute 1 part dish detergent to 10 parts water. Hope this works.
DeleteThis plant is amazing. But today is the first day that it kept its leaves down, like by night. I changed its place, usually it reacts within one hour. But today it slept the whole day. Does someone know if it's normal? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSounds normal to me. Try to move it to a place where more light will shine on it and see if the leaves will perk up again.
