Nadine that is gorgeous. My plant is doing well but it is very young so it doesn't look nearly as full as yours.

Your plant is beautiful...and I'm so envious. I have had mine about 3 weeks and it was a big plant when I bought it. The edges of the leaves have turned brown. I thought it was getting too much sun, so I moved it deeper into the shade, and since it sits in the ferns it gets water every day. I thought it might be getting too much water, so I didn't let the water get on it.....and it wilted. *sigh* All my plants are in containers, and it is still in it's original pot.

Could it be the heat? Any suggestions?

Mmmm..can ya set your pot 3/4 buried in the ground...mine is buried in bark mulch... Don't water everyday...I only water when I don't get rain or when it needs it...I also add some plant food to mine which comes from my pot belly piggy poop tea..lol...

"pot belly piggy poop tea." LOL No wonder it's so pretty! We haven't had any rain here so I have to water the containers every day. The heat just sucks the water out. I can't dig, but I'll try to get some mulch around it, and give it a shot of Osmacote. Thanks for the help.
