yeah i was just at the store and i was looking at some umbrella plants but i decided not to buy any because all of the leaves, on all the plants, were coated in a clear, waxy film. Im thinking some varieties of umbrella plants naturally produce this mystery residue? so i looked at some croton plants, and they had yellow spots all over, and seemed to have the same film on the leaves... anyone a botanist or have suggestions for better plant varieties?
ps - i went back to the tom thumb store - the florist said they put some sort of shine on the plants. stupid. i went to home depot and got a croton, dracaena and schefflaera, sans shine
