Q.What Is Happening To My Pachira?

Zone Toronto | Liliana added on November 11, 2021 | Answered

I cut off the spotted leaves and the watering happens only when the media is dry to the touch (about every week and few days) but I saw the spots in the inner leaves and then it showed up in the outer ones. Is it fungus?

If you think it could be overwatered, I would repot in fresh potting soil and clean container.

I suggest watering even less; wait till the soil is dry. However, increase the humidity with a pebble tray. There could be a fungal infection so removing the affected leaves is a good idea. Spray the leaves with an antifungal such as Neem oil.

Thank you so much for your response! In case of fungus, should I repot? Or should the need oil be enough?
