Hey there guys… if you have seen my last two posts, you know my poinsettia is not doing the best: UPDATE: today I found this white stuff in her soil, and two other leaves fell. Does this clarify more what is wrong with her? Any help would be much appreciated.

Ah dang I wish you had posted these on the original post. This is overwatering I think. The soil needs to be replaced if anything is to be done at all…

But I think it would be easier for everyone to call this a loss, unfortunately

I will replace the soil then and water it less. Thank you!
