This plant came from mda1515 on ebay. I did pay for a heat pack, but the pack was cold by the time the plants arrived. They arrived within 2 to 3 days. Now, I have purchased several plants from sgabird on ebay. I do know that they are members of Daves Garden as Funny Farm Herbs. The last set of plants I bought from them came so well packed. They lined the top and bottom of the box with insulation, and put a heat pack in the middle with the plants. I have had no problem with those plants. Although my variegated rubber tree does have a few tiny spots that look like rust. Have no idea what that is.

I have been watering with the mosquito dunk water. So far I have not noticed any difference. Maybe it takes a while.

I am kinda wondering if these leaves have given up. They just look "old". I do wonder if the pot is too big. I have read philodendrons don't like a pot that is big, they like to be crowded. But this was the only pot I had when the plant came. I am going to dig around and see what I can find. Went to walmart last night. They do hav a few pots out. Maybe I will go back and see if I can find a smaller one. This pot is, I think, and 8" round. Boy! Growing plants is such a guessing game!

You guys have been a lot of help! Thanks!
