Good evening,
I need your help.
I have potted a DN pup without leaves two months ago.
Since this moment it began to rot because it staid outside under heavy rain one afternoon.
I cut acurately the rotten parts until the moment it began to regrow and emitted two clean and nice leaves.
Now I am keeping it inside to avoid any rain spoiling it and I have stopped watering it a month ago;
The problem is that the black rotting goes on its way round the collar of the plant. A juice is oozing from this place without drying at any moment.
I tried to spray the plant with benlate (a systemic fongicide maybe known under another name in US) : no effect.
Suphur in powder has now effect as well.
I don't want to lose this pup because DN is very difficult to find in my place.
What could it be ? Fungus ? Bacteria ? what to do ?
Here are some pics showing the nice two leaves and the collar rotting indeed...
