Wilting of rooted cutting

[Blackfoot12]

Is anyone familiar with the specific cause of this.Is it a fungus or something else. Please look at the picturehttp://www.dotphoto.com/ViewAlbum.asp?AID=6724990&IID=274322209

One leaf got it first and then the other leaf. The edges curl and the leaf gets a grayish look right where it is dying. This is the second cutting it happened to. Those leaves will surely die.

Thank you

look like to much humidity

Agree with Dave about too much humidity - I had some like that last year that survived though

[COGardener]

I had some do that after a drastic humidity change (I left the lid off to long). once the humidity was restored, it a bit, the cuttings did recover.

Yes. Too much humid. Or sudden change to ambient air or over water. Cut all 3 things back

Also check underside for mites

No, dont cut that '3 things back' . Leave them alone . At the eye of the 2 leaves, 2 new 'things' hehehe will sprout soon to make the plant more bushy .

Possible problems :
- excessive humidity
- disturbance (move around too many times)

Any roots ?
If no root, then pull it out to check if bottom of the cutting is rotten . If so, cut the rotten part off then root over again .

Roots ? yes ?
Hurry ! hurry ! Put it back into the pot and cover with a dome or a plastic bag (punch some more holes)

Otherwise mites will ravage the poor plant
Good luck

No no no I don't mean cut back tree I mean cut back on playing with it. Give little water and put dome back over it. No cut tree

[maimai2]

hehehe

OK. I appreciate the replies. I cut the cancer out. It chooses to live or die at normal room humidity 50%.

I'm not sure the value of cutting off leaves-I would expect some energy production for the plant even if leaves are a little sickly
