# Hey there, I’ve had this blue gecko colocasia for about two months…

_Geplaatst door xoana op 2023-06-08_

Hey there, I’ve had this blue gecko colocasia for about two months now. It pushes out new growth like crazy but the leaves will eventually develop a sort of white speckling on them and eventually will yellow and wither away. It’s not powdery mildew since I can’t wipe it off at all. But I’m worried it’s another disease, does anyone have any idea why this could be? Is there any hope 🥲

Does it rub off? If so, it may just be calcium buildup from your tap water. If not, I’m not sure if I can help you on that, except for an educated guess, that it isn’t getting enough light.

Unfortunately it doesn’t rub off 🥲, I’m thinking it’s some sort of disease but can’t figure it out. Thank you anyways!

I have it right in front of a south facing window but I think you might be right. This certain colocasia is supposed to be almost black in color.
