Hello!
My kalanchoe is very sick, has been for a while, and I can't seem to match it with any diseases I find online. Does anyone know what it is or how to help it?
The leaves get a grey mold on them, then they turn yellow, dry out, and fall off. It clearly starts at the bottom, on the lowest leaves, and works its way up one by one. I've treated the entire plant twice with a spray but it doesn't seem to help! I really hope someone has an idea!
Regards,
Donna

Are the roots alive? If they are and the plant does not yellow or shrivel, cut back on the watering. Plants do have resting periods. When they are resting they should not be fertilized and water should be cut back. Use a slow release fertilizer if the plant resumes growing. If the roots are dying and the top is not too stressed you can try to take a leaf or stem cutting as backup.

THANK YOU! Yes, the roots are dark now, I'll do the backup with a stem. Probably it's the end for it...imafan26 wrote: ↑Thu Feb 02, 2023 1:04 pmAre the roots alive?
