Default Re: Healthy stem, brown leaves

If you had it outside recently then it got cold damage..which is fine....you can cut off all the leaves and store it in the garage and only water it once a month until the spring...or if you want it to grow new leaves...bring it in the house in a bright location and it will send new growth,but it will be leggy growth because of the lack of light at this time of year...if you chose to store it....bring it outside in the spring when it starts to warm up and it will send new leaves....if it is spider mites..I just wash my leaves top and bottom with soapy water once a week...I also have mine under grow lights in the basement and it does well...I just hung a 4ft long inflorecent light with grow bulbs in it in my office and get to enjoy it all winter before they get to play outside in the summer....good luck
