Heliotrope help?, I have two heliotrope plants that are doing great,but one the leaves are turning brown.Does anyone know what is causing this?
A common symptom of overwatering is a browning of the leaves. To ensure that your plants are receiving an appropriate amount of water, check that the soil is dry by putting your finger deep down into it. The soil should be dry all the way through, not just on the surface. Most people water their houseplants a little bit at a time. While this would seem like a good idea, ironically it is exactly what we don't want to do! Once your soil has dried completely, place your plant in the sink and run water over it, allowing the excess to drain off.

What colour is Heliotrope? could you describe it? Is it a Tertiary?,
Heliotrope is not a colour - it is a plant with fragrant purple flowers the name coming from the greek:
helios - the sun.
tropos - turning.
The plant is so-called because, like many others, the flowers turn towards the sun, the botanic phrase for this is positive phototropism - turning towards the light. (photo = light in greek)
