Hi! Can you please take a closer picture of the leaves, and describe your watering habits, the sunlight it gets, etc.? #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. 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 ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/X7iFcQObQNRZopX0e4kn4YiOkDhHzAnMkWiShj8zaW0/YAnt0g23QkalYq56XHYblw.webp?size=large) #### Holly님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. Ohh this is beautiful! #### Holly님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. 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? #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. It’s the white stuff in the leaves. Do you know what that is? #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. I think it’s some type of infestation. ### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/X7iFcQObQNRZopX0e4kn4YiOkDhHzAnMkWiShj8zaW0/zDM_2v-1Q7qBBCelgij9hg.webp?size=large) #### Holly님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. What is this picture? Are you able to take another one with the leaf in focus? #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. I’ll do it now #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/X7iFcQObQNRZopX0e4kn4YiOkDhHzAnMkWiShj8zaW0/TGHRauA8Qh2RJoDFWTTM4g.webp?size=large) ### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/X7iFcQObQNRZopX0e4kn4YiOkDhHzAnMkWiShj8zaW0/AcrurO1uS-W_4LKKDXRNbA.webp?size=large) #### Holly님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. It’s still hard to tell in the photo… but does it look like this? ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/OvGfsYNzvPKSvzjmB07-XFKohuEITYZbx-ZONFbCQ1c/BzLOk8JpSKm8cgxNfp8JhA.webp?size=large) #### Holly님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. 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! #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. Yes #### Victoria님이 2024-11-01에 답변했습니다. Thank you ### Alyssa님이 2024-11-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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 ### Sunny님이 2024-11-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. Beautiful. That is a lot of plant. Check the roots. It could be root bound and need a repot. ### Aisha님이 2024-11-01에 댓글을 남겼어요. 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. ### ThumbWasNeverGreen님이 2024-11-02에 댓글을 남겼어요.
