Do you have access to fungicides/bacteriocides? It also looks like there are 2 plants in the pot. If this is the case I would separate them and put in individual pots. Then I would look at the roots of the infected plant, remove any rotted roots (dark, mushy) and leaves, and repot/treat the plant with fungicide/bacteriocide.

    Thanks a lot, Susan,
    What kind of fungicides/bacteriocides would you recommend?
