    Hi all

    Just wondering if anyone has an idea of what this is? I just got this plant from someone and trying to rescue it. Good chance its been overwatered as but was away from a window for a year and been on a week schedule from previous owner. I feel its got chlorosis and what ever is on some of the stems. Root ball was pretty healthy, no root rot but looks like it could have been root bound for a while.

    Can anyone clarify what it is? It only seems to be on the leaves that are lighter or turning light green/yellow. Ive gone and repotted it with an aroid mix and gave it some worm castings and seaweed with iron plus a neem oil treatment. Anything else that could help right now?

    I'd say just starved.
    Think the repot should sort it out.
    The yellow older leaves will probably die.

      It does look like it's been over watered but the barky look on the leaf petioles could have been under watered/dry atmosphere. Maybe a bit of cold shock as well. Rootball and stems look good

        Hi, thanks your replies. Yeah i think its definitely nutrient deficient in some way and agree some watering inconsistencies. Also been giving it some nice humidity last couple days and given it prime location in the window. Ill wait and see what i've given it kicks it back.

        Cheers
