False aurelia has a few burnt leaf tips from the insecticide. Otherwise ok, no wilting. Croton seems fine. I'm looking forward to the croton filling out, it's a very pretty burgundy red with yellow spots. It'll had some nice contract to bamboo. The gardenia has a few dead leaves (overnight!). Not many and otherwise it looks fine. I'll be happy to see the thrips, scales, leaf suckers go away. The pulmaria is fine after this de-lousing. I had sprayed some soapy water on the buds that were getting eaten and they're beginning to bloom.
I 86xd the banana. It had a fungus of some sort. The trunk was going soft at the top. May replace it with a bird of paradise or travelers that will provide some horizontal coveral, thought the canopy of the banana was very nice. Replanted duranta into the larger, plastic banana pot. It will fill it in and it soaks up too much water in the terracota pot.
Also, cut the large branches off of the rubber plant, they were leggy and there a number of beautiful dark branchlettes coming up that should be much fuller in terms of leaf coverage.
We went out to Flamingo Road Nursery yesterday and bought two cheap pots for the Virginia creeper.
