# I moved my plant to a better lit room because that’s what the app…

_Gepostet von Kaytif25 am 2024-12-02_

I moved my plant to a better lit room because that’s what the app said was optimal. Since I moved it the leaves are drying up more and there’s a white mold type thing in areas. Leaves that aren’t dried out are wilting. Does it just need to be watered more or is there something else going on? I would love advice. I put a pic of what it used to look like as well.

I think you have mealy bugs 😥

Agree with Kades, looks like a pest problem. Mealy bugs or possibly spider mites? Do you see any tiny thin webbing anywhere on your plant? May need a bright light to really see it.

I see clumps of the cotton looking stuff

Any little oval shaped tiny things on your plant? Typically on undersides of leaves or at the base where the stem meets?

It's hard to tell because to me they seem like little fuzzy mold spots or something but those are the mealy bugs. Planta has info on how to get rid of them. The plant should bounce back once they're all gone after a bit.
