musty indoor cheese plant
Cheese plant very large and beautiful, i moved this to my bedroom due to lack of space, but it appears to be giving off a musty/bad odour. i completely changed the soil/compost and also the planter, wiped the leaves and stems from base to tip but still the musty smell pervades, it is upsetting me i have to say and wonder what i can do, the bedroom is not small and is airy, i never noticed this in its last place, the sitting room, where it stood on the top of a high cabinet and crept along the ceiling! what can i do next please?
