There is a problem with some of the leaves. They are turning yellow, then brown, and then they shrivel up. Does anyone have any idea what's causing that? Attachments: Quote \| Reply \| Report

I had one and after I brought it inside in just plain died. Almost cried. Now I have two double coral and two red with varigated leaves. Am going to pray over them as I bring them inside. If they go I just don't want to do this again. It is like losing a pet. They are just so beautiful. LB Quote \| Reply \| Report

Right now they are on my carport and get early morning sun. Have printed out my instructions so this ding-a-ling doesn't forget what Ron told me to do. Linda B from SC Quote \| Reply \| Report
