We have an indoor prayer plant that has over some time developed ugly brown dead-looking edges around many of the leaves. Starts out with small patch which then gradually spreads, mostly around the edges it seems. Looks like this: [url]http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb153/sgull1/001.jpg[/url] We keep it watered okay, that's not the problem. We also keep it fertilized regularly by putting one of those Jobes indoor plant spikes into the soil once every six months. Any ideas/suggestions why this is happening and how to prevent it? Thanks.

Hi all. I have 2 palm trees and a coconut tree in my yard here in SW Florida. They are 35 years old. One of the palm trees looks seriously ill, as its branches are all brown dead, except for a few green ones at the top which are looking very weak.

My other trees have them too. Also, my other palm tree and coconut tree are very green with many branches. At the base of the sick palm tree I noticed what appears to be some sort of fungus: [url=http://TheAldens.org/yard/SouthPalmTreeProblem/FungusAtBaseL.jpg] [/url] [I](click picture for enlargement)[/I] I can tell you that I used to direct my daughter to empty her guinnea pig and rabbit droppings along with wood shavings from the cage around that particular palm tree. Can I save the tree, and if so, how?? Thank you so much.
