then placed in a 9" glazed container which has gravel in the bottom which I
keep moist.I have had it for about seven months and brought it from B/Q and
it has done very well up to now.the room temp is about 70 F and it is placed
near a window but not in direct light.It has lost about 1/2 it,s leaves and
is looking very threadbare.can anyone help please ,thank you ...cas

Perhaps she's mailing from the light-house there. After all, she has a
Shefflera called Trinette House......
