I aquired an orange BOP 2 months ago from a grower in Orlando,FL.
It arrived in good condition, so I repotedd it in a 10" clay pot using potting soil and crushed lava rock. It has 8 stems, is 28" tall, and sits in a well lit corner of my living room with 2 corn plants and a poinsettia, by 2 Southwest facing windows.
The largest outermost stem/leaf is yellowing quickly. Almost as if there is Mechanical damage but there is none. I water when the soil on top appears dry. Any Ideas?
Thank you!

I'm sure that it is in shock - moving from greenhouse to house, a few days travelling and then repotting! Really! Keep on with correct watering, and it should be fine. No fertilizer, of course. Derek

Thank you Derek for the piece of mind.
I'll keep you posted...it's looking better every day, but the one leaf is looking bad...should I cut it off?

If it has any green at all, leave it on, but only if it doesn't bother you every time you glance at it. It won't hurt it much to lose, and the plant is supposed to be giving you pleasure! Derek
