Hi I am trying everything I can think of to help out my poor Ctenanthe Setosa - it started letting me know there was something wrong about a week ago by rolling up all it's leaves. When it did this in the past, it was just due to needing more water and it revived once I had taken care of it. This time however, the leaves are completly rolled up (except one or two) and no amount of TLC has brought them back out - does anyone have experience of this and if so how was the plant rescued? I realise that it is probably a light/water/heat issue of some kind but can't pinpoint which as nothing I do is helping.
They are more a tropical plant and it may be to dry were it is .. try misting the plant and also seeing if it needs more water ... also look for a webbing .. there might be spider mites .. Marion
In my experience this is a water issue. More water. I've had some that have looked like they have died and when it rains again they come back, but more water for this one Ed
I'm afraid of going the other way and overwatering but will give this a go - can't be in a worse state than it is now! Thanks a million for all your advice....
