Who is this bloke Stella with a patient boss?
Watering? Spray Mealys & Red Spider? No the
solution.is to lay leaves & yourself horizontal
under water for a week, only the swamp Aglaonema
leaves will survive. Then neither the Naturist
nor his boss-keeper will have a problem.
Yours courteously

> I am writing in regards to the Aglaonema
belonging to my employer, which are in a sorry
state -- nearly all the leaves dead. Those in
charge of these plants can not see what is
wrong -- they only talk about how they have
watered them -- so I examined the plants myself.
One has mealybugs, the other has strange white
webs. Tomorrow, I will advise the plants' owner
of this condition, but I need some solutions to
propose. I know to tell them to cut off all the
dead leaves and stems, but what else? The plants
live in a climate-controlled office, as do some
so-far healthy Philodendron bipinnatifidum.
(Perhaps I shall ask for a division for myself;
these Aglaonema are growing in what appear to be
groups, with many stems per pot.)
