linuxman Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 What I would suggest (that is until I read your care notes ) is to place a plastic bag over the plant and pot to increase humidity. This seems to help dew production. If the plant recovers slowly allow more natural air into the bag by cutting off the corners. Do this gradually over a few days or weeks. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyQuest Posted July 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 (edited) Thanks for tips @linuxman i will attempt to try it out PLUS: update on the plant i found some rotting parts under the plant i removed them and they seems to be 1 spider mite on it and top watered it to flush mineral thingys out i think the problem i am not hardening it to warmer temperature the shop i brought it from is like 26C room temp i am keeping it out of direct light it seems to decrease the death of leaf sprouts(tips becoming black and limp) i am gonna recover the plant by growing it in shade(by a window) untill its ready to face the conditions of outside of course i am gonna apply your tip Edit: what do meant by (that is until I read your care notes ) Edited July 24, 2021 by SkyQuest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plante20 Posted November 8, 2021 Report Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hello, I had it too, but I watered it with a spill of fertilizer so that it dissolved and it was good, you can still spray it from the fungus I did not do it, but sprinkle some fertilizer and it should be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
