    Hi - Green fingered I am not! :)

    My money plant has 3 seperate trunks, sadly I failed to water properly and the branches on the thickest trunk all wilted and started to rot. I've since given it a good watering (made sure water not trapped in dish underneath) and pruned it right back.

    Sadly every time I prune it, more of it rots. I'm now thinking all is lost and I need to cut from the base of the trunk or uproot and remove completely.

    pics below : any suggestions?

    Has it been chilled at all.? Maybe that side was against a window when we had frost or in a draught.? They also don't like very much water at all & basically thrive on neglect.. I have only just given mine which are still flowering in a heated a greenhouse, their first drink this year.! :WINK1: :SUNsmile:

    You may have a point here : it's in a conservatory and was right next to the glass on that side. I've since moved to the center of the room and tomorrow will put outside in the daytime - hopefully the breeze will help dry it out some.
