I need more information. I manage two, in Michigan, no less! I plant them outdoors for the summer, and dig them and bring them in for the winter. They like well drained soil, and more or less deep waterings, drying out in between. Over-watering causes root rot fairly easily. You will want to cut off any totally damaged leaves. Have they been moved? A plant cannot withstand going from partial shade or indoor conditions without acclimating to more light gradually - they "sunburn." I am fairly well versed in tropicals, so a picture, where it is planted, when you got it, etc would be helpful... d |
