# This is Fred (photo 1). I rescued Fred and Ginger (photo 2) about six…

_Publicado por Penny L el 2023-08-05_

This is Fred (photo 1). I rescued Fred and Ginger (photo 2) about six months ago and they were in bad shape with brown spot they we’re root bound. I treated and repotted them, and they’ve been thriving ever since. Until five days ago. Fred started drooping. I tested the soil and it was dry, so I watered them. But we’re four days in and he’s still drooping. Ginger, on the other hand, never drooped and is super happy. And they’re in on pot together. Does anyone have any insights? I don’t want to lose Fred! 🙏🏼 Thanks ahead of time!

The browning and wilting leaves could be a sign of root rot or some sort of fungal infection id take him out of the pot to inspect the roots and to quarantine him from your other aralia so it wont get infected as well.
