Hi All, I bought a nbs one from Sam Tsui when he was in london this time last year. It is a compact grower and for a first time bloomer, It has 2 relatively large flowers. It has 2 new growths starting and if firmly rooted in the pot.
I have two queries. I have noticed what looks like brown staining where the leaves meet. Also the leaves 'pleat', wrinkle, when you bend the leaves up slightly.
Are both of these normal? or is this a possible sign of root issues? The leaves feel turgid and they are a light green. Thanks.
 
I see the brown stain often on multi's. If it is dry don't worry about it. Sometimes it can be removed with a soft damp cloth.
Under watered plants will show wrinkling in the leaf surface when bent upwards. When hydrated correctly the leaf will snap like a cucumber if bent too far not wrinkle.
