I was today years old when I learned you can use an old penny in the pot of a philo suffering from copper fungus to stop it. My ring of fire has it bad and I’m digging out a penny to test. 😁. #Philodendron #HappyPlants
3ft to light, indirect
6ā€ pot with drainage
Last watered 12 hours ago
Would love to see before and after photos to see if it works!
@Dawgfreak @S.ham13 unfortunately our pennies these days are not mostly copper. Sorry to be a buzzkill, lol
@DreamMachine they have to be older than 1982. šŸ˜‰
@Dawgfreak well let me know if that works, lol! I thought they had to be from before1857 🤣 but now Im curious how 95% will do!
@DreamMachine I will follow up for sure. I found a 1976 penny and stuck it in the pot. A grower in Lakeland told me about it so I’m feeling pretty confident in the process, maybe less so with my 1976 penny. šŸ˜‚.
