plant fungus


Question
I have big yellow mushrooms along with white and yellow mold surrounding my Jade.  Can you tell me how to kill this
fungus ?

Answer
Diane,

Remove the mushrooms and scrape the surface of the soil off getting the top layer of soil. Spray the next layer of soil with aerosol Lysol Spray, it is a fungicide. Then add a layer of sand to the surface of the soil around the jade. In the future be very care about not overwatering your jade. It comes from the plains of Africa where it goes for long periods with little water and lives in very sandy soil. It should be watered no more than once every 7-10 days in the summer or not until very dry and should never be allowed to sit with water in it's drain tray. In the winter it should only be watered ever 2-3 weeks. Good luck.
