I had no idea. I know nothing about these plants except what I've been able to find on websites. So far my understanding is they don't like to be wet as in soggie wet. And I think they like to dry out a little. How do you know if they are getting to correct amount of water?
I will take a lose look at the sides of the cane and let you know what I find.
What type of soil conditions do they like. Oh yeah, I have been posting in the dracaena thread also.
What else do I need to know? Also, I read that ... I can't come up with the name. The white stuff that I think starts with the letter P which is added to potting soil occasionally. Anyway, I read that it is a no-no for these plants. I didn't know this and I put some in miracle grow mix which I think is a general potting mix.
I appreciate this information.
I'm not going to give up on this plant. It isn't dead until it's burried and I'm planting not burring.
Oh, Light and food; what do they need and when?
I have had this piece of this plant since about the third week of November which I found in the trash. It stayed green for a few days and then I noticed it starting to go brown on the tips of the lower leaves. It is still trying to do this, however i think it is slowing down the process, but not certain.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I really want to save this plant which is now actually because of necessity in three pieces in pots. The origional is in the same pot by itself and the leafy top and a 4 to 5 inch cane is in another pot. I am hopeful I will have three of these plants.
Oh, do you know who would know about rubber plants?
