# I just cut off these leaves from my chinese money plant to avoid any…

I just cut off these leaves from my chinese money plant to avoid any more damage and energy draining from the mother plant, is this just neem oil burn or should i be more concerned? Most leaves are fine tho.

This looks to me like a fungal infection, but would need more info to be sure. It’s generally caused by overwatering at some point, but doesn’t always go away after correcting for that. My last fungal infection ended up killing the plant. Only seemed to affect a couple leaves at first, but then entire stems started falling off. I’d recommend trying to kill the infection ASAP though I admit I’m not sure how.

oh god, i’ve never dealt with fungal infection, i’ve been googling a lot .. does it mean i have to change the soil .. what a way to start the day 🥲

Mine gets a few of these spots. I believe it’s from overwatering, but I think the black is inside the leaf and I’m not sure you can use a fungicide to treat it. It doesn’t wipe off.
