    Hi all,

    We have a very sad cheese plant. (See picture) When I bought it it was very lucious and green, and as you can see it's now very droopy and most of the leaves have brown spots

    I think at first I was over watering it, and it was next to a door that was opened regularly. I have stopped watering it some much and we have moved it away from the door, however I think I probably need to prune it and maybe chop the lower droopy leaves off. Does anyone have any advice?

    Also I am seeing new chutes come through quite often.

    Thanks

    Ben

    My guess is overwatering.

    Does water build up in that outer pot?

    Think it might have root rot, let it dry out between waterings, I find they don't actually need lots of water.
