Now it has black, mushy spots on this tips of some of the leaves. Seems like she’s getting worse. I watered yesterday according to schedule. It’s on my back covered porch, getting indirect sun. Any ideas? Thank you. ## 11件のコメント ### Amyさんが2024-04-26にコメントしました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lyHX10d3xbzqkrjL-z6GXk6T_cqSC-Vb4D4nH4KteB4/gzgubKM9RC2vXlcfY5dRZQ.webp?size=large) #### Amyさんが2024-04-26に返信しました ![1件中1件目の添付ファイル](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/lyHX10d3xbzqkrjL-z6GXk6T_cqSC-Vb4D4nH4KteB4/uwHLXQ7PR4iUNTpZgASNng.webp?size=large) ### PlantLadyさんが2024-04-26にコメントしました What soil do you have it in? Peperomias are prone to root rot so they need really well draining soil (I know some people use cactus soil). ### Alyssaさんが2024-04-26にコメントしました I’ve heard a rule of thumb, that when the tips of the leaves are bad the tips of the roots are bad ### Amyさんが2024-04-26にコメントしました It is a generic kind of potting soil but I do have a mixture of coco peat and garden soils I could use to transplant. #### PlantLadyさんが2024-04-26に返信しました If it’s generic, it’s most likely holding onto to much moisture and slowly suffocating the roots, leading to root rot. I’d repot it with chunky, well draining soil, and possibly downsize the pot (depending on how many roots there are). When you repot, check the roots and cut off any rotten ones, and then spray the rest of the roots with hydrogen peroxide to kill any remaining bacteria. #### Amyさんが2024-04-26に返信しました Thank you so much! I will do it now. Would you say the same treatment could apply to my philodendron? She’s not well, either, same kind of symptoms, including the mites. #### PlantLadyさんが2024-04-26に返信しました I have my philos in well draining soil as well (about 50/50 potting soil to perlite) so it could help if it’s in regular potting soil. ### Amyさんが2024-04-27にコメントしました Thank you for your help. I repotted her yesterday. I was shaking in my boots. Hoping that will make her happy again. ### Sunnyさんが2024-04-27にコメントしました Are you watering on a regular schedule or watering only when it needs water? ### Amyさんが2024-04-28にコメントしました I was watering on a regular schedule which said only once a month but the soil was so dry I went ahead and watered again. Maybe I overwatered her. I repotted her, too, with 50:50 Miracle Grow indoor plant mix and coco coir, peat \& perlite mix. Sprayed 3:1 hydrogen peroxide on roots. No evidence of root rot. Whew. I also added moss poles, thinking the aerial roots may like it. The stems are so heavy, they just droop. --- _Plantaコミュニティ (https://getplanta.com)。閲覧はどなたでも可能です。投稿、コメント、いいねをするには、Plantaアプリをダウンロードしてください: https://getplanta.com/download_
