it's a healthy looking plant - you panicked! don't get discouraged. it's just an AV ;). get yourself another and play with it. pulling off a leaf does not hurt the plant, unless it only has 5 leaves :). removing a decaying leaf is a GOOD thing.. i just uppotted a medium one and pulled off 6 bottom older more yellowish leaves to make it look more symmetric, which was half of the last row (was looking lop-sided). it's only when the plant is too young or weak that you need to mind how many leaves to remove. well, within reason...of course. a thought on watering: when you let a plant dry out too much (to 1/4 pot as you said) - that's too dry. you then need to rewater by bottom watering: letting it sit in the bowl of water for 15 min. if it absorbs all water, you need to add some more and wait another 15 min. if it sucks up all of that, give it some more! letting it dry to 1/4 pot often is not good for av - it's too much stress. if it has a lot of leaves, it might start dropping them if it does not get enough water to maintain them. temp: 79F is too high for av's. 70-75F is the optimal range. higher then 75F - they will need more watering. the larger the plant, the more water it will take. consider trying wick-watering in the future, especially for larger plants. it's very easy . well, you can still go to your mother and instruct her on upkeep! i am not down-playing the dangers of chemicals. but it might just be that you did not water/feed it properly.

When I click on it, the Explorer screen comes up and says "connecting", after a while it fails to connect and goes away. ravencajun, I will give that a try. Thanks. ---------------------- By the way, I have scannned with SuperAntispyware, Windows Defender, and Malwarebytes, nothing found, but Task Manger shows CPU activity goes from 0% to 65% use with no program running. dcarch
