Well, at least the water doesn't drain off of it and it would stay more moist in the measuring cup. Mine only has two leaves on it right now. Looks kind bad compared to yours.

Anyone else having problems loading this picture. Didn't have any trouble with the elephant ear, just this one. African Mask is my favorite plant for drama. I nearly always have one around the house. At the moment I have a spider mite problem in my place so I'm holding off on getting another. Spider mites love this plant!

Outstanding! I love this one - even in Pyrex. I was lucky enough to get one from a dear person here at daves - sure hope it grows up to look like yours.

That's really smokin' Sclarke. Totally needs it's own furnature too. A real science diet number.

Hobnial51: Spider mites? They also don't like "old" soil. I replant mine every year with fresh soil and they seem to love it.

I've checked the leaves top and bottom, they're clean and free of any bugs. The plant is only a few months old so the dirt is new. The plant is still producing new leaves though. I have it close to a grow light. HELP!

Thanks hobnail51

Is it all leaves that are turning yellow? They do die one or two at a time as new ones are coming on. It could be the normal growth pattern for it.

My plant has only one leaf left but it seems healthy, just a little naked.
