Last attempt before I send her to the graveyard for good 🪦 🪴 😩 got this *former* beauty at plant bingo around Halloween. Been struggling to keep her happy (bright indirect light after I sunburned her, moved to bathroom with right light and more humidity) but she was very much living until a few days ago. Pruned back ~3 or so crunchy stems at the soil with sharp clean pruners. Now… this! Looks like it’s molding where I made the cuts. Can ANYTHING be done to save her? Pls help!! Pics of how it started and how it’s going 😭

    I think it’s a fungus. Or soil borne mold. It’s caused by high humidity or over watering. It also could be root rot. I would change all the soil with well draining soil that’s airy and get fungicide. Apply a suitable fungicide, such as copper-based spray, to the leaves. See if that helps. I just looked up how to deal with fungus on your plant so good luck.
