It sounds like it's maybe fungus?
would it be possible to take a photo?

Not really but I googled for a picture, it looks exactly like this


edit
after googleing more it says it's mealy bugs?

fortunately, i've never had to deal with those before but I have had a similar problem where two of my plants had mites, the best thing to do is to completely separate them from all of your other plants so that the issue doesn't get passed onto other plants.

You could buy or make your own insecticide, when i did it I used some commercial insecticide but there's tonnes of advice on how to create your own online, this page has a bunch of different insecticide 'recipes'. From my experience, I found that there was very little change for a long time and then the mites all went away at once so you might have to do it for longer than you expect, but be persistent and I wish you good luck!

For my indoor plants there isn't much I need to do other than water then less, but for my outdoor ones my family have plans to buy in some bark to cover the soil to defend against frost. This year my dad built a hot box (I think that's what it's called - it keeps the young plants warm so that the frost doesn't kill them and also means that at the start of spring they'll get a headstart on the other plants!)

I'm quite nervous because we're trying a lot of new things we haven't done before but I'm also excited for spring so that all of the hard work we've done can come to fruition!

What do you do to prepare your plants for winter?
Ive never really taken much notice of how my plants went in winter due to them always being in a greenhouse (apart from those big flower bushes and shrubs ect) but this year we dont have a greenhouse so i had to move some of my chilli seedlings out of the direct air because of the frost. They did get frosted before i realised i had to move them

But, in australia, it is now spring!

So all the seedlings that got frosted have sprung up and developed many new leaves. Ill have to take some photos of all the flowers that are out too, my pansies are in full bloom and many of my cacti have sprouted a flower

Oh dang, I'd really love a greenhouse but there's nowhere to put it right now - it would be really useful here. Did your chilis do alright in the end? I'd love to see photos - but there's no rush haha


Edit;; For those in the southern hemisphere who are entering spring (or those int he northern missing it haha) what's your favourite spring plants that you're excited to see/are missing right now?

Welcome! I'm looking for bonsais so long, but I have trouble with finding the one :'D Yes, I'm picky.

What do you do to prepare your plants for winter?
I don't do something special, all my babys are in my room, the garden is my mother's territory.

;v; i think i'd like to attempt to grow a bonsai one day but
they seem like a lot of hard work, do you have any advice
for growing bonsais yoon?
