I included a photo of it when I first got it. You can see it was full and happy. Now it’s almost completely died and I don’t know what to do. It looks like there might be some type of mold/fungus? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because I really want to save this plant. ❤️ ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/l7iN4jUesr3zdNaYlb_ZuzYyaGozkKfCJuCFrM9Cd20/PrR6xbJWQSWqIRKUkp3QJQ.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/l7iN4jUesr3zdNaYlb_ZuzYyaGozkKfCJuCFrM9Cd20/8l9MH5ddTN-K3ZmVqcjDgQ.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/l7iN4jUesr3zdNaYlb_ZuzYyaGozkKfCJuCFrM9Cd20/YIx8Z-X0Rj6ImQpk96yRnw.webp?size=large) ## 4개의 댓글 ### Josie's Jungle님이 2024-09-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Looks like you repotted... it may be a combo of transplant shock and not enough sun to make it happy? Mine is in a sunny window having the time of its life and likes the soil to dry up before I water again - yours may be retaining too much moisture if the soil is getting fungus and making the roots too soggy... ### Cake🌻님이 2024-09-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. If you repotted it recently, plants tend to be a little upset for a week or 2 after repotting until they adjust to the change. If there is mold in there, I’d recommend trying to let it dry out and then remove the mold asap. I’d do this by gently taking it out to totally remove \& replace the soil. I’m sure this will upset it again but that’s better than leaving it with mold imo. There are also mold killer fluids you can buy. However, I haven’t personally dealt with mold before so I’d look into the best way to do it or maybe someone else on here has better experience with it. Like Josie said, you wanna make sure the soil is completely drying in between waterings to avoid mold \& root rot. If the roots aren’t long enough to reach the bottom soil, it could be allowing wet soil to stay down at the bottom causing the mold. If this is the case \& you don’t have a smaller pot, I highly recommend adding some rocks to the bottom, which helps a ton with drainage! Good luck! 🫶🏻 ### Angel님이 2024-09-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Mine has died a few times after the first time I kept a slightly closer eye on it. Whenever it started to look like it was dying pearls drooping and drying out I cut off the healthy strings and propogated them in water by the window (definitely appreciated the extra closeness to the window) since repotting in soil I’ve been watering from below and it seems a lot happier, the pearls directly on the top of the soil were getting too soggy before, from what I saw ### erised님이 2024-09-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. The exact same thing happened to me, and I went to the plant shop today to ask. They told me that it’s a soil moisture problem- you’ve to water these till the pot is fully wet and then let it dry out completely. I removed the shriveled/ flaccid pearls as I found they attract tiny organisms and retained only the strings that are sturdy. As of now mine is still under observation, so I’m not fully sure but I hope this gives you some direction --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
