Do you have a picture of the infected leaf? #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-18에 답변했습니다. Not right now I’m trying to free my storages. I can describe it to u tho. It’s green, a light green but a pretty normal shade. The part of the stem connecting to the leaf is bent over fully (although it isn’t broken) it’s floppy and the leaf is slightly curled up. Near the edge is a yellow spot with a very small brown pinprick. The base part of stem like down to the dirt has some white stuff on it. #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-21에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RIrQvmTfE5xBudBxwuK4HRsLqI3LyrjgXB8bhDg6aHo/JbDq4c56RnWogXs8kJufXQ.webp?size=large) #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-21에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RIrQvmTfE5xBudBxwuK4HRsLqI3LyrjgXB8bhDg6aHo/7Ff9D0WVTvK8KW-kHz07Jg.webp?size=large) #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-21에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RIrQvmTfE5xBudBxwuK4HRsLqI3LyrjgXB8bhDg6aHo/Bx118LcqQA2GDrj-HWYiRQ.webp?size=large) ### Josie님이 2024-11-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. I would recommend spraying the leaves with castilesoap/water mix as it’ll kill the kites. Treat it a few times over the next couple weeks. Leave any mostly green leaves on it u til they’re too sickly then chop them off so it can focus on new growth and recovery ### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-11-18에 댓글을 남겼어요. You can always clip off an infected portion of a leaf with sterile shears, to try and keep it from spreading. And the good portion of the leaf allows for photosynthesis #### Adian Rankin님이 2024-11-18에 답변했습니다. Agreed. Probably the best way to stop the infection and quickest for new growth #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-20에 답변했습니다. Ok, thanks! Should I do anything about the white powder on the base? Idk if it’s mildew or if it’s normal I think I have enough storage freed I’ll send you a picture in a second #### Wolfen 🐺님이 2024-11-20에 답변했습니다. The white stuff is usually mold or fungi, if it's not pest related, like a scale. Since you said there's an infection in the leaf, treating with fungicide (depending on brand will also kill mold) it should help both things. #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-21에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RIrQvmTfE5xBudBxwuK4HRsLqI3LyrjgXB8bhDg6aHo/CBkEcqrzTE6tqNmnX4iyUQ.webp?size=large) #### ABucketOfPlants님이 2024-11-21에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/RIrQvmTfE5xBudBxwuK4HRsLqI3LyrjgXB8bhDg6aHo/45Tkegp1Tq6hEdsgck_mcw.webp?size=large) _앱에 답글이 1개 더 있습니다._ --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
