I went to clear some old leaves of schizostylis today and plants just came away in my hand - the bottoms had green mould ? Any ideas - I know we have had rain recently but wouldn’t expect it to be like that! At first I wondered if something was eating the roots until i noticed the mould ? Anybody experienced this and can advise ? Thanks

    Could have been vine weevils grubs eaten the roots away. The plant will then just rot and die. 

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    Thanks Lyn, nothing obvious in the soil - but I will check again.
