I noticed today that their is some black mold on the stem of my plant, its not on the branches, its on the main stem, about a 2 inch band of it about half way up the stalk. The mold wasn't their yesterday.

The plant was harvested a month and a half ago so it is all stem and branches, no leaves or buds, I was planning on rejuvenating it in the spring, I heard that as long as you keep the plant alive it will come back to life and start growing again. Ive been keeping it in the window so it can get light, but now I have this black mold growing on parts of the stem.

its been below freezing and I don't have a light, but I figured it was hibernating and could go 2 months just being in the window, until it warmed up enough to put it back outside.

What is this black mold, and how can I get rid of it? or is my plant going to die:confused:?

Odd problem... But if its below freezing I'm fairly sure it wont rejuvinate in the spring..... I'd say kill it.

The oils in a fresh citrus rind will likely kill the mold. Just smash some rind with your hand and get it covered in oils, then wipe it on your plant's affected areas.
