A plant can recover from a fungal infection if it's caught early and treated early enough.
Most fungal diseases and fungal infections in plants can be managed and treated through proper care and treatment which allows the plant to recover to it's normal health.
Treatment options for plants that have fungal infections include pruning and removing the infected leaves or stems to prevent the spread of the fungal infection or fungal disease in the plant.
You can also treat fungal infections in plants and fungal disease in plants by using chemical fungicides which can help to control and eradicate fungal growth.
And even some natural remedies can be done for fungal infections and fungal diseases in plants such as using baking soda spray, neem oil or cinnamon to help manage the fungal issues.
Also providing proper spacing between the plants, ensuring adequate airflow and avoiding overwatering of the plants can also prevent future outbreaks of fungal infections and fungal diseases in the plants.
A plant that is overwatered will have leaves that look yellow and the leaves of the overwatered plant will often be wilting and or drooping and the leaves will also often be soft and limp.
The overwatered plants soil will also feel wet and may even have a musty smell or mold or fungus may also appear on the surface of the overwatered plant.
Yellow or brown limp and droopy leaves is a sign of the plant being overwatered.
And if the leaves of the plant are crispy and dry then it's a sign of too little water.
Any wilting leaves that are combined with wet soil often mean that the plant has root rot that has set in and the roots can no longer absorb any water.
You can tell the difference between underwatering and overwatering a tree by the soil and the foliage.
When a tree is overwatered it causes soggy soil and limp and soft leaves which can turn yellow or brown in color and wilt.
When a tree is underwatered it often causes dry and crumbling soil and leaves which droop or curl.
An over watered tree will look like yellowing or wilting of the leaves and the over watered tree may also have fungal growth around the base or algae or moss around the base of the tree.
The soil around the base of the over watered tree will also be consistently wet and even possibly be soggy.
And with an over watered tree, new growth may wither prematurely or even turn light green or yellow and the leaves of the over watered tree may even appear green but be brittle.
The most common signs of an overwatered tree are leaves turning yellow, which can also be accompanied by drooping or wilting of the leaves.
The soil around the base of a tree should be moist but not overly saturated or soggy and if the soil around the base of the tree is overly saturated or soggy then the tree is being overwatered.
Any excessive moisture can also encourage the growth of fungi such as algae, moss or mushrooms around the base and the trunk of the tree.
And even if the leaves of the overwatered tree are green they may be brittle or even break easily which indicates that the tree is overwatered.
And if the tree appears to be wilted even though the soil around the base of the tree is wet, it's a very strong indication of the tree being over watered.
In some cases a tree will naturally recover from being over watered as long as you stop watering the tree and allow the tree to use up the water and recover.
If your tree is over watered you should scale back on the watering frequency immediately and allow the soil at the base of the tree to dry out between watering's.
On average it takes an overwatered tree 7 days to 14 days to recover from over watering.
