# The monkey mask I posted about a few days ago is continuing to get…

_Posted by Liv on 2023-09-11_

The monkey mask I posted about a few days ago is continuing to get worse🥺 it had tons of yellow leaves, now little brown dots on some leaves and is just seeming so sad. Was trying to do some research, it says it may be fungal. Any idea how to save this baby??😩 the brown MAY be sunburn (I just moved it to a brighter spot… maybe too bright) but the little brown dots are on a few leaves now and it’s been sad for awhile

It looks like it’s just getting too much direct sunlight and causing the leaf to burn. If you think it’s a fungal issue try checking the roots. If they are brown and smell then it’s root rot, healthy roots should be a white/cream color and have no odor.
