They grow wild at the side of the water obstacles in Singaporean golf courses... and in the nature reserves.

Not sure if you are the right person to ask, but this is relating to the plant gardening.<br /><br />We have just bought 2 pots last week, the same as picture in this blog. It's in pot without drainage, under full morning sun, and I have been watering it daily. Since it's water plant, I figured it would be ok even abit flooded. However, I noticed this morning some of the leaves turned dull brown and flaky to the touch. Would you have any idea what's wrong?Speedlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08861497273997840629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8210435929787404330.post-44923721655234283472010-03-12T13:20:47.406+08:002010-03-12T13:20:47.406+08:00abbkoh - I still eat gotu kola 2 weeks out of a mo...abbkoh - I still eat gotu kola 2 weeks out of a month.<br /><br />You can't make goldenseal tincture... Generally, people don't grow goldenseal at home because it takes too long to harvest.
