IGIuliana Georgiana7 December 20232 Wish green leaves
Maranta, white powder on the leaves
Hello,
I’ve had this maranta for two years. I have moved twice, so the plant has suffered from stress. In October I changed its substrate (Compo Sana green plant soil) and transplanted it to a slightly larger pot. The plant reacted well after transplanting. It is positioned 1 meter from the window, in indirect light, south east position. The temperature is around 21-23 degrees and the humidity varies between 39 and 48%. I have a humidifier, I can raise the humidity up to 60%, but I decided not to use it anymore because I don’t know under what humidity conditions the disease can spread. I water the plant when the top of the substrate dries out. Two weeks ago I noticed a white film on the leaves of the plant. I cut off the ones that had a larger portion of this film. I used the Ikebana triple action treatment once. I decided not to apply it again because the plant had slightly curled leaves after the treatment. It was not exposed to light after the treatment. When the plant recovered, I wiped off the leaves with a leaf shine spray (Schacht) and applied neem oil fertilizer. The white film did not disappear. What can I do to save my plant? Thank you.Attachments:

Hello! In order to be able to help you with a recommendation, please attach some clear photos of both the cut sections (the white dots that can be seen on the plant) and the plant as a whole (showing the basal part).

IGIuliana Georgiana10 December 2023From the attached photos you can see a slight browning at the base of the stems, this is a sign of increased moisture in the substrate.
For the time being, it is recommended to let the substrate dry out thoroughly, after which you can consider 2-3 treatments with a fungicide such as Dynamic, 100 g, at 10 day intervals. This is applied by watering at the roots, in a dose of 10 g/ 10 L water. It is important to prepare a volume of solution corresponding to a single treatment (respecting the mentioned dosage), because the already prepared mixture does not have a shelf life longer than 24 hours.
You can also apply a ready-to-use foliar fertilizer such as Interior Plant Regeneration Ackerschachtelhalm RTU, 500 ml, which is a special treatment for plants that have suffered from biotic/abiotic stress (applied according to the instructions).
In the future, it is recommended to water the plant in moderate quantities, so that the substrate dries out in the first 5 cm before watering again. More information on the care of this plant can be found in our article: Maranta, plant care and growing guide.
Considering the condition of the plant and the above mentioned, we cannot predict the exact development of the plant.-
