hydrangea
What is causing spots and discoloration on my hydrangea leaves?
The shrub has a leaf‑spot disease, most likely a fungal problem made worse by wet leaves and crowded growth. Remove the worst leaves, clean up fallen ones, and keep the plant drier and better ventilated; it usually clears up without harsh chemicals.
Alocasia (African mask)
What are the yellow-edged spots on my Alocasia (African mask) leaves?
Those yellow-rimmed brown spots are most likely a leaf spot issue, often from moisture staying on the leaves or a stressed, overwatered Alocasia. Remove the worst leaf, keep the foliage dry, and adjust watering and airflow so it doesn’t spread.
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.
