Re: Sickly Aglaonema

From: "Ron Iles" roniles at eircom.net> on 2001.09.10 at 02:39:32(7437) Who is this bloke Stella with a patient boss? Watering? Spray Mealys & Red Spider? No the solution.is to lay leaves & yourself horizontal under water for a week, only the swamp Aglaonema leaves will survive. Then neither the Naturist nor his boss-keeper will have a problem.

Those in charge of these plants can not see what is wrong -- they only talk about how they have watered them -- so I examined the plants myself. One has mealybugs, the other has strange white webs. Tomorrow, I will advise the plants' owner of this condition, but I need some solutions to propose. I know to tell them to cut off all the dead leaves and stems, but what else? The plants live in a climate-controlled office, as do some so-far healthy Philodendron bipinnatifidum. (Perhaps I shall ask for a division for myself; these Aglaonema are growing in what appear to be groups, with many stems per pot.) > > Jason Hernandez > Naturalist-at-Large >
