It seems like it has fungus. And or it might be getting too much direct sunlight.

Yeah if the flower part is green instead of white then it definitely has too much sun

Thank you for the advice! If she has fungus too, how exactly would I get rid of that?

### Oatishkay commented on 2025-09-01

Try moving it to a spot with a little less light and regularly whip off the leaves

\*wipe

The white powdery look could be pests, powdery mildew, or fertilizer salts. Check for pests. Treat with neem oil by wiping down the plant.

Mildew is a fungus that can be treated with a fungicide since it typically comes up from the soil in moist conditions with poor airflow. Treat with a commercial fungicide.

The plants can extrude excess salts. Wipe down the leaves with diluted vinegar and water.

The yellowing could be overwatering. 🪴🍀
