General post from
Leanne Berry
Having grown beautifully for 4 years - recently they lost their vivid green and developed yellow patches alongwith dead patches.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with my plants.
There are alot of slaters living underneath the large mosses - could this be affecting it ?
