Bubba, I got a strawberry (milk) shake probably late Nov, early December. It was shipped during a really cold snap. It arrived with 2 nice leaves and then dropped them within days. It did nothing visible until maybe a week ago. It has only now opened it's first leaf (smaller). I have worried about the poor thing until now, but it is already working on another leaf. Mine is in more light (when the sun bothers to come out) so I may end up having to move it when it gets bright. As long as the stem is firm, it can sprout new leaves. I notice this one is starting to show the little spots for branching off, so I'm kind of excited. I have had several plants that arrived in cold, and did nothing for a long time, or lost all leaves, so I'm getting used to it, but keep even moist to barely moist, not overly wet, and so far everything has bounced back besides Anthurium waroqueanum.... the plant you've pictured is really pretty and the green looks fine to me. So the leaves are looking more yellow now? Or the same? The mosquito dunks haven't done any damage to any of my plants, and I've been using them all winter. I'll get a pic of my recovering plant. I noticed a little leaf yellowing when I sprayed for thrips using a mixture of neem oil, Murphy's oil soap, alcohol and water. I still see thrips but fewer, and I still need to spray again. Would love any ideas :).
