# Does anyone know what might be wrong with my Florida Sunshine…

_Posted by Amy on 2025-07-17_

Does anyone know what might be wrong with my Florida Sunshine Illicium?  
The nursery said I had it in too much sun when this began so it’s been on my covered, south-facing porch for a while now. It’s just getting worse.  
I thought it was overwatered but I don’t think that’s the case here. There is plenty of drainage.  
Please help! 😩  
TIA

That looks like a fungal issue I would treat immediately

What would you use if you were me?
