I have had my elephant bush bonsai for a few years but recently saw black spots on some of the leaves. Does anyone know these are? They are literally perfect circles!

Black spots are often fungal or it could also be pests

Will it hurt my plant?

#### Wolfen 🐺 ha respondido el 2024-12-26

If its either of those, yes. They'll usually kill the plant

Photos? Many things can cause black spots including pests, watering issues and fungal, as Wolfen stated.
