My Sygnomium, (I think, see photo) 2 yrs old, consistently gets leaves which only half uncurl. The uncurled side then develops brown marks. Occasionally the whole leaf stays curled up tightly and even less frequently one rolled leaf seems to be inserted into another rolled leaf. Any idea what is causing this and is there a way to treat it easily? T.y.
This could be two separate issues. The first, I would suspect, is a pH imbalance. Dolomitic lime will help restore this to a more suitable balance.
The other could be the start of a fungal infection. Wettable sulfur will take care of this.
It is important to feed them once per month in order to get the most out of them.

We just moved to Folsom California. Its growing in a raised bed environment, about 5 hrs of sunlight. Obviously has spread. Have only lived here a month so dont know if it blooms. Dont know whether to save it, move it or leave it, but it's where I want to plant veggies
Looks like calla lily. Send a photo of the bloom if I'm wrong.

patio. It looks like white powder.
This actually looks like two plants. A Syngonium plant, and Tradascantia (Some countries call it Rhoeo) plant. Both of these have VERY different care than Parlor Palms. It looks like a harmless soil fungus, as many plants have beneficial relationships with fungi.
I will include two articles that will help you to care for both of the plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/arrowhead-plant/arrowhead-plant-care-arrowhead-plant-or-syngonium-podophyllum.htm

I'm in India in a coastal town.
This is an infection from the soil remaining too wet for too long. The soil must dry out down to, at least, 2 inches between waterings.
A fungicide will be necessary. This article will help:
