Should I cut off the head?

Question

So I want to see if cutting of Thalia’s head from the stalk off so I can save that because the leaves are  shriveling up. Any thoughts #SucculentSquad? Black tips are showing up on the leaves and I don’t want to lose her 😢 @sarahsalith @RJG @KikiGoldblatt @Sassylimey #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #SucculentLove

Answer

You definitely have an issue there. It looks like black mold which they ‘say is the easiest to fix’. I use a fungicide with copper. Beheading it won’t help since I see the affliction to the top. Keep an eye on nearby plants…

Answer

@Rintintrinn I agree with @Yeeha234 on this. If you have fungicide or Neem Oil use it. If you use Neem Oil use it every 7 days.

Answer

I have up some copper fungicide on hand - it's great for lots of things that can ail plants.

I'd suggest you pick up a little bottle of that ￼follow the directions.  You can mix it up in a little spray bottle. (:

I hope that it works out for your plant; ghost plants are really cool!

Answer

BUT it might be less expensive to replace that plant if none of your other plants are affected￼.

That might sound horrible,  but I've replaced some plants here and there because of one thing or another. 💚
