| Cruise on over to the house plant forum if you'd like to discuss your plant in greater detail. Are there some little brown bugs along the stems? |
|
| Purple, you've really got your Mr. Magoo glasses on! When I first saw this picture, I looked for critters because the leaves look sticky with tell tale honey dew...but I didn't see anything. Sure enough, there they are all along the petioles and stems! |

| Was hoping it was just me, uhoh! |
|
| Ya - looks like I have spider mites or some such bug. :( |
|
| Don't know about spider mites, but every time I look at the picture, I see more scale insects. Do you see those small, brown bumps on the tops of the leaves and along the stem? Aren't the leaves sticky? |
