    For a couple of days now I've noticed the plants in my office develop this whit fungus, I was wondering if anyone could identify it and come up with a solution on how to treat it?

    Thanks

    Difficult to say for sure but it looks like some kind of mildew.

    Any fungicide spray would probably cure it, but its a sign growing conditions are not as good as they could be.

    Office plants usually have put up with all kinds of neglect.:)

    I'd say you need to give your plant a bit of fresh air in the sun (not direct sun) and cut down on the watering.

    If it's mildew the Provado won't help though.
    Use a fungicide instead, that should.

    I agree though, houseplants are woefully treated :(
    Give them some fresh air in the warm months and plenty of circulating air generally.
