I purchased it at a Plant Sale at the county arboretum just over a month ago. Now, I know these plants are not supposed to be coddled because they are susceptible to sunburn and root rot; therefore, I placed it out of direct sunlight and, instead of a regular watering schedule like my other houseplants, I checked the moisture levels periodically and only watered when needed.
The one leaf it had when I purchased it is slowly turning brown. I know that individual leaves die after a while, but I don't see any signs of new leaves. I can't think what went wrong except that it got direct sun during the hour or so that it took me to transport it home. Is that enough to damage it?
What do you think? Is there hope for this aspidistra? Did I make a mistake? Was it a dud to begin with?
What went wrong with my aspidistra?
