How can I rescue a pulmeria that has fungus growing on it?
I have a large Pulmeria that I took to the nursery and they said it might be fungus. I have a total of 14 pulmerias and this is the only one with this and I don't want the others to end up with it.This one is not next to others. Is there something I can make up at home to put on them. My budget is so limited and the commercial ones are so expensive. LIttle tiny red dots also on this plant. A customer there said he uses dawn dish detergent and washes off his leaves. Diluted of course. Thanks for any responses. Don't want to loose thisbeautiful plant.

Red dots are mites, not fungus.
Please contact your local Home Extension agent for help with this, the service is free. And there is normally a horticulturist available as well as local Master Gardeners that can help you.
Red mites usually drink blood, as in that’s why they are red. Keep the plant quarantined away from pet beds, sofas & other places they might go for a snack.
Thanks all mine are outside on my patio and this one was away from my other ones thank
