Swiss Cheese Plant
I have had this for 22 years, it has been cut back, repotted, leave
cuttings taken, and all in all been a good friend, but think I may have killed it, I normally give my umbrella plant, and rubber plants time outside in the summer, and this year thought I would do the same to swissy, looked out on it today, and 7 of the leaves have gone black and papery, I have immediately brought it back to its old spot inside, taken off the grotty leaves, it was outside in a sheltered spot, next to the conservatory and a fence, do you think it may recover, or am I too optimistic. I am presuming it has been the rain and the wind. Any thoughts?? It has only been out under a week :o( |
