Farfugium, Yellow Variegated Leopard Plant 'Aureomaculata'

Very nice plant for the shady garden. Likes lots of water. Pretty daisy-like blooms in October came as a surprise to me!

I have a huge Leopard Happenstance (I believe) It is round about 3 feet or more in diameter--huge leaves. I have had it for about 5 year...Read Mores. It is in a pot just a little smaller than the plant. I have it outside most of the time except in winter when it is in my greenhouse--probably unnecessary but it seems to do fine in there. It has always been active shooting up new leaves. It has, however, stopped and has a slight musty odor at the soil level-not the leaves. At least 2 leaves turn yellow every day. I expect that it has some sort of mold that may be killing it. . I do not believe it has been overwatered but maybe so. Does anyone have any ideas to treat it at this time? This is very important to me, so please help if you can. janc2@mindspring.com Jan Crotts Thanks

While only needing average water, it is sensitive to drying out but will let you know by wilting a little and then is easily revived.

One of my very favorite plants. Bait for snails and slugs!
