  What should I do when my plant leaves get brown spots?

  Brown spots usually come from either watering issues, sunburn, pests, or a fungal disease. First, check the pattern of the spots, how you water, and look closely for insects, then remove the worst leaves and adjust care.

  Why are the leaves on my vine turning yellow with black spots?

  Those yellow leaves with dark spots are almost certainly a fungal leaf-spot disease made worse by humidity and leaves staying wet. Start by pruning off the worst affected leaves, improving air flow, and keeping water off the foliage.
