When this kind of situation appears, there are generally two possibilities. One is a disease called "leaf spot disease." If this is the cause, then the first thing to do is deal with the diseased leaves. Then, depending on how severe the situation is, spray a carbendazim or chlorothalonil solution. After that, you need to improve the environment, such as ventilation. The second possibility is improper care, mainly too much water, too much light, or too low a temperature. In that case, the corresponding approach is to adjust the factors mentioned above, and do not pour tea leaves, coffee, and the like into its pot.

1. Disease problems

(1) Specific cause: There is mainly one disease that can cause this phenomenon, called "leaf spot disease." Anyone who has grown plants has surely heard of it. This disease is fairly easy to identify. If at first some spots with particularly dark edges appear on the leaves, and afterward they slowly expand and infect other nearby plants, then it is generally this disease.

(2) Solution: First, of course, you must cut off all the diseased leaves and dispose of them properly; note that the scissors must be sterilized beforehand. After that, you need to spray a medicinal solution. Different situations require spraying different types. If the symptoms are relatively mild, then you can spray carbendazim. If the symptoms are very severe, then you must spray chlorothalonil; others will not work. Spraying once every half month is enough. You should also pay attention to subsequent care. For example, do not let the environment be too enclosed; provide more ventilation. In addition, there must not be too much water. Use liquid fertilizer once or twice a month to increase the nutrients in the soil.

2. Care environment problems

(1) Specific cause: Specifically, the following three conditions mainly exist at the same time, or one of them is especially severe. The first is too much water; the second is too much light; the third is too low a temperature.

(2) Solution: If you are not sure which one is the problem, then first observe the surrounding environment to see which aspect has a problem, and then adjust it accordingly. Besides this, also be careful not to put tea leaves, coffee, milk, and the like into the soil; they easily breed pests and diseases.
