Siam Ruby...leaves

14 years ago

I purchased a very nice S Ruby in late summer that was

already in a nice pot, therefore, I just brought it inside

that way to enjoy the beauty. Why do some of the leaves

bend and eventually flop? It's 8' at least and still growing. Also, it has four large pups. Is there anything

that can be done about the leaves?

They need more intense light (sun) to maintain stiffer leaves. Even outdoors they sometimes bend from wind and rain.
