I have the same plant and the leaf spots. I also have them on the canes. While Howatd is correct, I think the culprit is water/misting. This Den may be particularly sensitive to water/mist. If you do not have good air circulation, water does not evaporate and creates spotting. Since I have been very careful not to get any water on the leaves, the spots have stopped. Nice growing BTW! Clara PS the old spots will remain.

Thank you, Quinnfyre. That is indeed one unusual production of kiekis!! Looks like the plant is on steroids! Has it received any hormones, such as KLN or superthrive? It is surprising that the plant is supporting both a vigorous bloom spike AND numerous offspring. Enjoy!

Magnolias have done very well for me, so when I needed a deer resistant, broad shrub, I decided to try this new to me magnolia. I purchased it this spring from a very fine nursery that I have dealt with for several years, but this seems to be a plant that just won't kick in. It's clearly struggling. Does anyone have personal experience with it?

Are you referring to Globba schomburgkii 'Yellow Dancing Girl'? The babies are sprouting from little bulbous that didn't fall from the infloresecence and you cetainly may plant them. They will actually drop from the plant and sprout all over the place. Two different Globbas will do that. Costus will also sprout kikis from the inflorescence and one Hedychium also does this Hedychium 'greenii'. Hope this has been of some help. Liz
