An old man told me to put epsom salt on my pepper plants, put a circle of it all around the plants. Supposed to increase production.
MsKitty, sounds like you have spider mites on your basjoo. Check any other plants in the locality too. A simple nontoxic insecticidal soap spray on the bottom side of the leaves when the plants aren't in full sun or in the evening or morning, should take care of them in a few applications. It might cause the leaves to look a little funky/ugly for a little while though. Get a good coverage on the leaves to the point of runoff on all the surfaces.
