I think I'll give it a little vacation from water.
The history of this plant is that last spring, when it was getting leggy,
I cut off its long branches and prinked up the potting medium. I essentially
cut the top of the plant off. It responded immediately, putting out beautiful
new foliage. That was gratifying. But what was even more exciting were the
cuttings, which I stuck in small pots with some nice airy medium. The scions
started popping out leaves on all the bare little branches.
It's because of these successes that I'm now worried about the little
brown, dry spots on the parent plant.
Thanks for all your help.
