Kevin, I wanted to show you my Mitriostigma axillare but thought I would put it up in my blog instead. I have a story about this plant also. The first one I owned I did almost the same as you did. I have no idea what I gave it that it did not like. I also have no idea how it happened. I had it in the bird room with my little flock and one day I looked at it and all the leaves were off the entire plant except for a few on the top. I could not believe my eyes. One day I am enjoying the beautiful sweet blooms, next day I have a stem with a few leaves on it. I usually throw this kind of thing away, but I love this plant and I decided to bring it back if possible. It is still living, still has only leaves on the top and it is a good 16 inches tall. It is really funny looking and yet I see signs of new growth on the stem at the bottom.....I think.....In the meantime I bought another one and that is the one I cherish and keep in my bedroom with my special Schlumbergera. It is cool in there and has a Southern window. It seems very happy. Please take a second and check out my blog so you can see how pretty it is. I will take a picture of the sick one in a few days and show that to you. I just want you to know you are not the only person who has a sick "African Gardenia".
