Re: [aroid-l] Amorph Blues Part 2

Strong light is not the same as full sun. It just means bright shade with no
actual sun touching  the leaves except maybe in the early morning.  Many
people have lost plants this way.

I would take it back inside and just do a "wait and see" if it can recover
next year... Don't over-water or feed the plant. I have found that a
B-complex -10mg  can often help a plant through a rough time...b.f.n...deb
