what are the tiny dots? I also saw small white salt looking things so I did a full spider mite treatment just in case. no webbing but i’m so bad at spotting spider mite signs!

looks fungal. is it on all the leaves?

#### plantmother replied on 2024-09-26

yes but this one is the worst by far! is there anything I can do to help it?

#### plantmother replied on 2024-09-26

this was just planted from a cutting so it’s sitting in wettish soil longer than I would like it to be

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-09-26

maybe a repot if you know it’s staying wet longer than it should. a little peroxide solution for the infection to treat the roots

#### plantmother replied on 2024-09-26

i’m worried I will stress it out, I JUST potted it maybe 1 week ago, would you still suggest?

#### eatyacarbs replied on 2024-09-26

i mean…it’s that or it rots right? it’s already stressed. but totally your call!

you could wait until it dries out (taking it out of the cover pot might help speed that up?) and then the next water add some peroxide
