My pothos and monstera are covered in these brown spots. They increase in numbers and spread everyday. Recently i have been spraying these plants with hydrogen peroxide and neem oil in order to lower the number of fungus gnats, but all it did was i believe increase the humidity and cause this spotting in the highest humidity areas of the plant. I believe a copper based fungicide will treat this but im not sure. What exactly is this spotting called, and whats a definite way to treat it?
