The problem is hers is very yellow and mine, the very edge of the leaves are starting to turn yellow. She waters hers every day, I don't. We live in Florida. Thanks!

Let us know...if that's not the problem, we'll think of other possibilities. How long have you had them? Did you repot?

It's usually only the mature stems and not the brand new shoots. I also live in Florida and leave them out on the porch.
