New roots that form will also become infected, turn pink, and then die. Infected plants start bulbing earlier than non-infected plants, and their leaf size and number are reduced. Seedlings that become infected can be killed. Plants that survive pink root become stunted and undersized and therefore not marketable. [1]
Schefflera / ˈ ʃ ɛ f l ər ə / [1] is a genus of flowering plants in the family Araliaceae with 13 species native to New Zealand and some Pacific islands. [2]The genus is named in honor of Johann Peter Ernst von Scheffler [], physician and botanist of Gdańsk, and later of Warsaw, who contributed plants to Gottfried Reyger [] for Reyger's book, Tentamen Florae Gedanensis.
The leaves and stems of the plant can be cooked as a leaf vegetable if gathered before the fruits harden. [9] However, the numerous small hooks which cover the plant and give it its clinging nature can make it less palatable if eaten raw. [27] [28] Cleavers are in the same family as coffee.
This is a short perennial plant growing 4–15 in (100–380 mm) long. Leaves are yellowish-green with brighter yellow bracts. Upper plant has a gland that produces a sticky substance, hence both the common names Glandular and Sticky Paintbrush.
The morphology of Araliaceae varies widely. Many studies have found that there is no unifying characteristic capable of classifying the family. [6] In general, Araliaceae species have large, usually alternate leaves, often with aromatic ethereal oils, five-petaled flowers, two to five carpels, simple umbels, and berries without carpophores or oil cavities.

Prickles on a blackberry branch. In plant morphology, thorns, spines, and prickles, and in general spinose structures (sometimes called spinose teeth or spinose apical processes), are hard, rigid extensions or modifications of leaves, roots, stems, or buds with sharp, stiff ends, and generally serve the same function: physically defending plants against herbivory.
While these plants are relatively low maintenance, it’s not unusual for peace lily leaves to turn yellow here and there due to stress, pests, or other issues. This guide explains the most common ...
