# Plumeria help! I’m looking for any thoughts on why the leaf is…

_Gepostet von Nat am 2024-08-06_

Plumeria help! I’m looking for any thoughts on why the leaf is discolored? It wasn’t yesterday. Any thoughts on the black spots of tar looking substance on the trunk, branches, and under leaves? Also wasn’t there yesterday.

Only thing that was there yesterday are the white spots on the other otherwise normal leaves, which I was trying to figure out what those are as well. It’s new, in full Sun, has only been watered once in about two weeks and plan to once a week.
