Question
Hi again, Will,

The service wouldn't allow another follow-up question and instructed me to ask a new question.

The house hasn't been painted in several years - thanks to your information, I will be sure to remove the plants prior to repainting :)

If it is helpful for you to have a photo to diagnose the problem, please instruct me how to attach one.

Thanks for hanging in with my Ficus problem!

:)
Claire

Answer
Hi Claire,

Although I can answer indoor plant questions here, I am not very familiar with how this site operates. So I don't know why you couldn't post a follow-up question and I don't know how to post a photo. There must be some Help information somewhere on this site. You can also email a photo to me directly at [email protected] and type AllExperts photo in the subject line.

Regards,
Will Creed
