wilmarosebud | On May 19, 2018 | Obtained plant I inherited this plant because the owner thought it didn't bloom. I repotted it, gave it TLC, and it appears to be thriving. I do notice a white sticky residue and I saw a bug on it (which I flicked off after taking a photo of it). I have sprayed it a couple of times with insect killer, so we'll see. |
