# Hi Planta friends. I think this flamingo lily may be overwatered. It…

_Posted by Amy on 2024-11-05_

Hi Planta friends. I think this flamingo lily may be overwatered. It lives outside and has thrived all through the summer but now-not so much.  
Plants says it’s overwatered but we have a huge rain deficit rn so I’m not so sure.  
This weird powdery moldy stuff is on some of the backs of the leaves, this one shown being the worst.  
Anyone have any advice? TIA

Try using vinegar diluted in water to wipe of the fungus. Use a commercial fungicide, per label directions, to clear the soil of the remnants.

The plant looks like it has inconsistent watering. The fungus thrives in a moist environment. But, some leaves look dry. I would check it more often to prevent it from staying dry too long between water. Then, water it and allow the soil to dry down again before watering.🍀🪴
