Eduardo, your ficus may have scale. Can you move the scaly stuff on the
stems?  If so, that's probably what it is.   The brown stuff o the leaves
could be a fungus type thing that shows up as a result of the sticky
exudate that  is  given off by the  scale insect.  I have had great 
success using a  mixture that I heard about here, (thanks to whoever told
about it) of equal parts of ammonia, rubbing alcohol and water in a spray 
bottle, drenching all parts of the plant. Just make sure that you use it in
a well ventilated place, or your family will  find you dead on the floor, I
fear.  You have to use it a few times to really get on top of the problem.

	My parents were in Frank's last week, and they got me  a gigantic  fuschia,
(red & white flowers),  some sort of begonia with silvery white spots all 
over the leaves, and a New Guinea  Impatiens.  Each big hanging pot was
$1.39!  Wow!  I just traded 12 baby Echinacea purpurea's for 4 Egyptian
walking onion  plants. Right now  I'm working a lot outside, and I THINK it
may have gotten warm enough to send all the houseplants to summer camp.  I 
will  be bringing them out in a couple of days.  It was down to 38 two
nights ago though, so  I'll just wait  and see.  When I get more time I'll
tell you all my DILL-icious recipe.   It's just that right now it's concert
time  and I have been driving kids to all these rehearsals and performances,
and doing the outside work, and making sure everybody is doing their HW and
studying properly for finals,   and.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Bye
fer now, all!   Lauren B. in New City, NY Z.6
