# HELP!!! I just got a beautiful Dragon Scale off of Fb Marketplace and…

_Posted by SoMoneyMonsteras on 2023-11-27_

HELP!!! I just got a beautiful Dragon Scale off of Fb Marketplace and I think I got played😭 I just got home and noticed these brownish spots with yellow halos around them and google is telling me it’s probably a fungal/bacterial infection💀 Has anyone else experienced this before? and if so were you able to identify it? and could you please share how you treated it??😭😭😭  
The seller had it growing in one of those self watering that has a wick line and noticed that the wicks are green from algae and the water was TERRIBLY dirty.. smh  
I should’ve inspected the plant a little bit more before I ran off with it but none of this was shown/mentioned in her sales ad and it was at night so I just chose to trust her😩 #nowiknow
