Hi all!
One of my plants was not doing very well due to a suspected choking of the leaves inside the stem, making the cigar leave wilt away. I had to cut it way back until beyond the point of the obstuction and after that it started doing fine again. I put it somewhere warm and under a growlight and it was happily recovering.
This morning I noticed that the rims of the stump had turned white overnight, eventhough the cut had healed really well for a few days now. It looks like some tiny fungus-like growth, but I'm not sure. The air in the room is dry since it is heated by a soapstone fireplace, but I did moderatly water it yesterday which might have caused it.
Is this something to worry about or is it just nature taking care of the old dead leaves without harming the new leaves?
Here is a picture, I hope it is still clear enough after the resizing;
