I’ve read that this could be due to water left on the leaves. Not sure if that’s what it is or if the plant has a fungus. Please share any information you have

I would check for pests and check the roots

### Yup commented on 2025-08-14

I think a Fungus if so treat with a fungicide and cut off infected leafs and stems

#### Ashlee replied on 2025-08-14

Cut off the whole stem?

### Amy commented on 2025-08-15

How close is it to the light? Could be sun scorch

### Yup commented on 2025-08-15

If its not close to a light then i would say cut off the stem too 😬

### Yup commented on 2025-08-15

Mine has that and i think its a fungus

### Wolfen 🐺 commented on 2025-08-15

That is a bad fungal or bacterial infection. Personally use either Physan-20 or Growsafe for fungal infections

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-08-15

Remove any leaves that are extremely bad off. As fungal/bacterial is extremely contagious to other leaves.

That's definitely fungal. Look up fusarium for treatments
