Hi all

Can anyone help me restore my 25 year old gorgeous money tree plant back to health.

About 18 months ago after bringing the plant indoors from its summer break, I noticed what looked like white dust all over the leaves. Six months later it was still there. So thinking it was dust I sprayed it with water. Made a big mistake didn't I. Since then it has got worse. It is now in the stem of the tree, leaves, root etc.. I used two different fungi remedies and added new soil. It does not want to go away. I recently moved, which I know stresses the plant but it is getting worse.

Does anyone know what this is, what has caused it and how to cure it. It is a lovely big plant and I don't want it to loose it.

Hi Tulip, from your description it could be one of many things ! Any chance of a picture ?? They need to be kept quite dry in winter! did you soak the soil in your attempts to wash it ? Was the fungicide you used labelled as 'systemic' ?
Lannerman.

Hi

Firstly, apologies for late reply. It was October/November 2010 when I sprayed them with water. Not sure what the label was on the spray as don't have it any more.

I will attach photos once I figure out how to do it.

Regards

Tulip
