Need Cane Angelwing Help

17 years ago

Thought I seen help on this somewhere but unable to find the thread again. Very recently I purchased an old fashion cane angelwing cutting (rooted) from ebay. I planted it in a plastic 8 inch pot with miracle grow soil. Watered it and placed it in indirect light on my covered carport.

When I checked it for watering, 3 of the 4 leaves have paper thin spots that are very brittle. Would someone please tell me what could be going on with my plant and what I need to do to make it look healthy? Could this be shock from the shipping or is something elso going on with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

something similar happened to my begonia Rex, when i first got it.i contributed it to a lack of moisture in the air.

i personally keep my begonia in my bathroom, the extra moisture from Showers seems to make it quite happy.

now, i know that a rex and a cane angelwing are worlds apart.
but i had some of those paper thin , brown dry spots

i would say, dont worry. just get some more moisture around it. maybe bring it into the bathroom when you take showers ;)
