It must be flowering season for those
plants... my peperomia obtusfolia went through it a few months ago ( and suffered for it ) and now it's the griseoargentea that's sending spikes after spikes upward - granted that they are fragrant, but I swear the silly thing is trying to
flower itself into oblivion!
It used to be such a beautiful
plant - healthy, bushy and full of crisp, perfectly formed silvery leaves... now it's just a shadow of itself, leaves drooping, yellowing and dying. Nothing has changed in the care I give it - light, watering, humidity, location, everything is the same. No insects, no obvious disease. Pot and soil are fine. It's just sitting there and sending up
flower spikes - I counted about 50 of them before getting bored with it, and they're all very healthy among the decaying foliage!
Is there any hope for my
plant, or should I just watch it kill itself in a burst of citrusy-scented
flower spikes ?... maybe if I nip the spikes as they form it would help ?... sorry if I sound frantic
but I really like that little
plant and I don't want it to end in the compost bin.
