Hi I bought this Brighamia insignis plant a month ago. Recently the lower leaves are going yellow and about to drop I assume. Will it survive if it loses all the leaves or is it a goner?

    As these plants grow they lose their lower leaves and grow more at the top.  

    Lots of info here https://garden.org/thread/view/57065/First-Plant-Brighamia-Insignis/

    Don't worry about it ... it's not a thread from here @Ynnead .... it's from a specialist houseplant forum.   I only know a little about your plant so I checked that I wasn't misleading you.

    Quite an unusual plant you have there.  :) 

    By the way, how did you get on with the Swiss chard?
