Help! I got advice at a reputable nursery to cut back a very mature Choco empress philodendron that was out of control. The problem is the cut stem is getting mold. What should I do?

TreseaBMelt some wax and put it on the end. It’ll keep it protected.

Plant Fathermold growth like this typically means your shears weren’t sanitized properly. i think you’ll have to make a fresh cut to remove the infected tissue. i would recommend soaking your snips/scissors/shears/whatever sharp tool in strong isopropyl alcohol (i use 91%) for a few minutes before cutting. i’ve also seen others recommend using a hand sanitizer gel on the blades as a disinfectant
