Whatβs going on?
Any idea why sheβs turning brown all the sudden?
3ft to light, indirect
4β pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
@USAGardenHub could possibly be low humidity but it was absolutely thriving before. I water when the soil is slightly moist and it doesnβt get any direct sunlight (if it does at all itβs probably 30 minutes) π
Hi @Cjpeters26 did you check for pests or maybe fungus? The second pic, near the crown and that leaf definitely look suspish. If you have 70% rubbing alcohol you can try putting some on a q tip to see if itβll come off. If it does, thatβs a better indicator of pests.
@Momof83ans Hi Kelli- thanks so much! Just put rubbing alcohol on a q tip and rubbed but only a bit of soil came off, nothing else so I donβt think itβs pests
@Cjpeters26 darn! hereβs info on home made fungicide, you might want to start here. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/homemade-fungicide.htm you may need to unpot it and check the roots. Iβd read the article and prepare yourself first so you donβt get overwhelmed. π you got this!
@Momof83ans the roots are definitely sticking out of the bottom a little! Itβs winter though so I was a bit weary on re-potting. Do you think it is fungus?! π
@Cjpeters26 the thing that makes me think it could be fungal are the round dark spots on the top leaf in your first pic, and the stuff along the stuff along the spine of the leaf in the second pic. Repotting in fall makes me nervous too. You can remove the two old leaves in the first pic and keep an eye on it. If it spreads youβll need to check the roots etc.
