| I received these plants mail order and for awhile they seemed very wet. This fungus appeared on the plants a couple weeks after I received them. No other plants in the vicinity have anything wrong with them. The new growth seems to be free from the fungus or mold or whatever it is... Anyone know what this is or how to get rid of it? |

| what.. did you hang it from the roof.. man that looks a long way down ... that media.. looks like rooting media for a greenhouse.. i think you should have repotted it upon rec'g it ... did you put the seller on notice.. and ask them what to do about it??? ken |

| I ordered them Online, and when I received them they were beautiful. I havent replanted them yet because I was moving, and It seems like the new growth is void of the Mold. The seller said most of the time the mold will go away with the new growth. They said to keep them informed.... I did put them in a sunnier location and they seem to be doing better. |

| i see pretty active bud growth under those whompin large leaves.. personally.. i would probably just cut off the worst of the lot.. and give the energy to the new ones ... and i would probably repot it into a larger pot.. with a better soil mix.. sedum.. in general;.. like a drink.. and high drainage .... and that potting media is not that.. the media its in .... hold a great amount of water.. for the greenhouse.. to aid in the rooting of the cutting ... it wants to grow up now... so it needs different media ... unless i am mistaken.. that plant can get near 2 to 3 feet round.. and you should easily conceptualize.. that that tiny pot will be insufficient in the long run .. ken |
