Split Leaf Philodandron - can it be saved? - November 28th, 2006 at 11:58 AM
I've got to be the most disabled gardener ever created!
My father-in-law passed away last week and we received the above plant. I LOVE(D) it...but I think I've killed it??? I so hope I'm wrong. We were in Nebraska for the funeral; we loaded the plant into the van (which was cold, below freezing when we left); I noticed when we backed out that the leaves were kind of hard and curled a bit; almost like being frozen.
As the van warmed up; many of the leaves went limp....some are a very dark green color.
Can it be saved? Do I need to cut the leaves that bent over? Can ANYONE help me save this precious plant?
TIA!! ~Michele
