I have multiple plants with black spot, and if it hadn’t been for an experienced plant person, I still wouldn’t know I had black spot in the house. This is so new to me. I’ve never had problems like this. My question is this: should I use neem oil or copper fungicide? I mention this because some plant daddy wrote that he didn’t play around with neem oil, but used copper fungicide since it did a better job. I have Neemed everybody and I do have some copper fungicide coming. Should I use that next round in a week since it purportedly is a tougher fungicide? TIA for any comments🧐.

First thing always is to use the pesticide as per the instructions on the bottle. What does it tell you to do?
