# My whale tail has turned completely orange and I don’t know what’s…

_Gepostet von Cara am 2024-06-14_

My whale tail has turned completely orange and I don’t know what’s wrong. When I look online it gives me a million different answers for what might be happening. I try to make sure that I do not over water it at all. I did go a little too long in between watering this last time but it’s gotten worse since I watered. Any ideas? And is it salvageable?

Look at the roots, could be over or underwatered depending on what you find.

This is one of my favorites, I’m so sorry this happened. So when you’ve waited far too long to water plants, their roots start to deteriorate and introduce fungus/bad bacteria into the soil and infect the plant when watered. Unfortunately, this one is done. See if there’s a healthy rhizome/baby beneath the surface.
