Spotted and Cracked Sans Leaves

19 years ago

I have a beautiful Sans that I received that needed some help. I have repotted it, staked it and have givin it a lot of love since it was WWWAAAAYYYY over watered. Some of the leaves are very healthy, but about 50% of them are spotted badly, or cracked halfway up the stalk. What should I do? Do I need to cut them down, I would hate to lose such a large amount of the plant. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi there,

Sorry no one has answered so far, awfully quiet around here.

Sorry too, to say that tho' I grow a dozen or so different Sans. plants, I know of no way to cure/fix scarred or damaged leaves. Personally, I'd cut them off but I see you mentioned it's 50% of the leaves, yeah, that's a lot. Then again if you cut off a few of the most damaged ones, you could probably still use 'em to start new & healthy plants.
