Has anyone ever heard of this plant? Medinilla magnifica

[Raineyrocks]

Brandie spent $30 on this plant for me and now it's almost dead!  I've listened to the stupid directions that it came with and sadly watched leaf by leaf fall off and now it's down to one tiny leaf.

I also have Umbrella plants and they aren't doing that well either, they are all wilting.  Someone told me to rub mayonnaise on the leaves so I sat there and rubbed the mayo on every stinking leaf and it doesn't look any better.

I also have a Pothos plant that is my favorite and that one isn't doing so well either.   I keep taking a leaf off to re-root the leaf before the whole plant dies and the leaves I've re-rooted and planted aren't living.

I used to have 1/2 of a green thumb now I don't know.

I never heard of it, sorry.

I had some sensimilla magnifica in college, though.

  Me too!!

I've never heard of this plant so I looked it up.  Pretty!  It's zone 10-11...so I think it would be difficult to grow here unless you can provide it with warm and humid conditions.

Yeah me too!   The Columbian Gold plant that was around in the 80's was so gorgeous, gosh the memories!

Yeah, it is, (well mine was), and it means so much to me because Brandie gave it me.   Thanks for the info Becky!   That sucks that it needs that kind of climate, the little paper it came with said it was soooo easy to grow anywhere, liars.
