Another season, another round of mall cacti

What do you think is the best way to cure some fuzzy mold on the leaves of a very old jade tree?

It’s slowly killing the whole thing. First each leaf gets gray fuzz, then the leaf gets “corky” under the fuzz, then drops off.

I’m spraying it with water-diluted baking soda and dish soap. The commercial anti-fungal liquid is too scary to use indoors.

Sorry if this question is a pain…

Like your blog a lot.

Thx

Mike

I don’t know that there is a good option other than commercial fungicide unfortunately … anyone else?
