I have a malphigia growing over a piece of driftwood. The wood seems to be

softening somewhat. I had treated it with wood hardener before using it.
Can I apply lime sulfur without harming the malphigia?

I am not sure I understand. Your plant has dead wood that you painted with
wood hardener? Now it is getting soft? The lime sulfur will not help, but
more wood hardener might. Or is it the driftwood that is getting soft. Then
more wood hardener s what you want. I put some Min Wax Wood Hardener on a
Bougainvillea it must have adsorbed six coats. Wood hardener will not repair
really rotten wood, you must remove the rotted wood and apply the product to good
wood to prevent further rot.
