I received this plant about three years ago. This year it has gotten long branches on it with what appear to be individual flower buds. The flowers open in the evening and stay closed during the day. They also have a clear liquid at the base of each flower pod.( a lot of clear liquid, drips everywhere). I am wondering if I need to do anything with these branches or flowers, as this is the first time it has actually bloomed. Also the leaves at the base of the plant are turning yellow and dying. The plant has been very healthy up to this point as it was only about a foot tall when I got it and it has grown to about 5 feet. any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

hawaiin good luck plant
You will probably have better luck if you post your question in the Beginner Houseplants forum--here's a link in case you don't know where it is http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/b_houseplants/all/ This forum is for questions about the Plant Files database, and the other forums are better for questions about how to care for plants. I'd also recommend posting a picture that shows the yellowing leaves rather than the flowers, that way people will have a better chance of knowing what the problem might be.
