Hi! Can you please take a closer picture of the leaves, and describe your watering habits, the sunlight it gets, etc.?

#### Victoriaさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

Gets great sunlight, I water on a week and a half schedule in the summer. First my leaves were turning black like they were burnt. These plants have been in the same place thriving for 2 years. This photos was taken 4 months ago. They’re dead and dying. I’m devastated

Ohh this is beautiful!

#### Hollyさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

Don’t give up yet! There’s still a lot of healthy leaves in your recent picture! What does “great sunlight” mean? Direct or indirect, and which way do the windows face? I’d also recommend not watering on a strict schedule but instead watering only when the top inch or two of soil feels dry. I know you must feel so frustrated after not having issues all this time. What is your fertilizing routine like? When is the last time you repotted?

#### Victoriaさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

It’s the white stuff in the leaves. Do you know what that is?

#### Victoriaさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

I think it’s some type of infestation.

#### Hollyさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

What is this picture? Are you able to take another one with the leaf in focus?

#### Victoriaさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

I’ll do it now

It’s still hard to tell in the photo… but does it look like this?

I fear this may be mealy bugs. That would explain the quick shift in your plant’s health. I’m no expert on dealing with them - I have no experience - but hopefully someone else on here is, or you can find some info on the internet!

#### Victoriaさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

Yes

#### Victoriaさんが2024-11-01に返信しました

Thank you

### Alyssaさんが2024-11-01にコメントしました

Mealy bugs most definitely! This is gonna take some time as it is a super large plant, you’ve got to use isopropyl alcohol and take off all of the white bits you see. Then spray with diluted neem oil, I would say wash down your whole plant but that might be too much of an undertaking

### Sunnyさんが2024-11-01にコメントしました

Beautiful. That is a lot of plant. Check the roots. It could be root bound and need a repot.

### Aishaさんが2024-11-01にコメントしました

I’d say dunk the whole thing in a bathtub full of water. Maybe not the pot, but definitely as much of the foliage as you can get under water. Or even spray it down in the shower and then treat with neem.

Sorry I just want to say that house with the vines is stunning
