Hi,
I'm new to your group and would like to say hello. I hope someone
could help me. My phals have been developing very pale leaves. Just
one or two leaves per effected plant. Sometimes the leaf falls off when
I touch it. Is this common? Is there anything I can do, or should do?


Thanks in advance for any help.

Is this just the bottom oldest leaf? Could it be natural aging?
How many leaves do the plants have?

How do you grow? Window, lights, gh?
How do you water? How often?
What do the roots look like?
How is the media that they are planted in?
Do you fertilize? When and how much?
Have you looked under the leaves? Any signs of bugs?
Have you sprayed for bugs? With what?

Florida --- I'm jealous. Cold Kansas here. How bout light, you say
shaded, how much shaded? I've seen leaves on plants turn yellow from
the mealies, but they take over the whole plant, like white cotton, so I
really don't think that's what's going on......Keep this group
