Three problems with my Bangkok beauties

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

Hey all! First time purchasing these cool plants, but I have three (3) different issues affecting some plants I purchased in Bangkok at an outdoor market. I hope you can help! (I know these might not be the same type as in the USA, since they have lots of hybrids here.)


FYI, when I bought the plants (I purchased about 10 of them), they were all in blossom and outdoors in direct/partial sun.


1) I brought them home, watered them, and placed them on my patio (partially shaded) while I went out of town. When I came back, ALL of them had lost all their flowers. Is this normal? Did the nursery maybe just force them to flower (or perhaps they're very short-lived?) You can see the withered flowers in the pics.


2) I took half of the plants inside with strong indirect sunlight. The top picture shows that several new plants have the leaves at the tops of the branches turning light green/yellow. They look like new growth (but aren't). Touching the leaves makes them drop. I've not read anywhere about the leaves turning light green/yellow from the TOP of the branches. Any ideas? I'd really like to know why this pattern occurs....



3) The below, smaller plant, has a different issue. Brown spots, withered leaves. It's lost a lot. Both have equal water/conditions.

I've read about shock--is this all it is? If so, why the different responses?

Thank you!
