Are these black spots of death? 😭🌿 I picked her up from Lowe’s about 2 weeks ago. Noticed one black spot but it’s slowly grown. Is it fungal? Not sure what to do. Thanks in advance 👋🏽

Yes I agree it looks fungal, how often / how much has it been spreading?

I would say when I first got it I only noticed one piece but there’s a chance I could’ve just not noticed the rest. But I do believe it is spreading! ☹️

Alright, I’m not completely sure right now what type of fungal disease it is (I’m also not at home so I can’t really do a ton of research lol) but I would say get a good fungicide for houseplants (dr, brommers (idk how you spell it) fungicide Is what I use but make sure the one you get is for houseplants as the other ones can be too powerful and burn the leaves of houseplants especially with variegation
