The soil is really quite dry so I don’t think it’s overwatering? And how can I stop the rest of the plant getting infected please or prevent this from happening to other leaves? Thank you ![2개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-kl80TBVFbTn6SvwogKVumg1HZoMuKSADqgerQvrQ3M/Dg3PI768QJ60uF8oP35SRw.webp?size=large) ![2개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-kl80TBVFbTn6SvwogKVumg1HZoMuKSADqgerQvrQ3M/-pXW6Jf-S8iKOK0vuDKArw.webp?size=large) ## 10개의 댓글 ### Lavinia님이 2024-12-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. The middle part of the plant is thriving but those 2 older outside leaves are really struggling this was the plant in June ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-kl80TBVFbTn6SvwogKVumg1HZoMuKSADqgerQvrQ3M/CJ3qFkjtQRmKPAiE8-eHug.webp?size=large) ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. Drooping and leaf splitting is usually a watering issue #### Lavinia님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. Thank you. Wondering if it has blight though as it’s only at the top of the leaf? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-kl80TBVFbTn6SvwogKVumg1HZoMuKSADqgerQvrQ3M/aMAYwGTcSTWqtRQ2OETx4Q.webp?size=large) #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. Mmm that's showing a leaf that's completely discolored and looks like mush on the top half, and looks like a fungal infection. Literally anything is possible with plants though, different living environments give off varying signs. You could douse it in a fungicide to cover your bases. And make sure to sanitize your shears #### Lavinia님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. Thank you I’ve ordered a fungicide so hopefully that will clear up anything 😅 it shouldn’t harm the plant if I give it that and it hasn’t got a fungal infection should it? #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. It shouldn't, no. As long as it's not something crazy harsh, it should be fine. I usually just use a 1:3 peroxide:water dilution, peroxide straight, or Growsafe. And i use the growsafe on tissue culture plantlets that are basically bubble boy with no protective coatings. And never have had an issue #### Lavinia님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다. Thank you so much for your help! ### Lavinia님이 2024-12-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/-kl80TBVFbTn6SvwogKVumg1HZoMuKSADqgerQvrQ3M/VeDyY8YLTMOK1vNo8G2EeQ.webp?size=large) ### Macie님이 2024-12-04에 댓글을 남겼어요. i think it might be under watered, it doesn’t look too mushy. the top of the leaves being more soft will happen when under watered because it has none to make the leaves nice and firm #### Lavinia님이 2024-12-04에 답변했습니다.
