# I need help! This plant seems to me to have some kind of disease but…

I need help! This plant seems to me to have some kind of disease but I don’t know what or how to fix it. I’ve repotted in the last year since the issues began and didn’t notice any problems with the roots. The stems used to be much longer but the leaves had died off so I trimmed them back. These new shoots have come out but now the same spots are appearing on these leaves and the new growth seems to have stunted. Any ideas??

The most common issues could be stress, disease or pests. It looks like it could be leaf spot disease. I would do a google search on how to care for your plant with leaf spot disease and how to make it better. As for the lack of new growth, that could be potentially because of the disease but possibly from other factors like not enough sun or too much or little water. Make sure you keep the water moist but not overly wet, with good drainage. Prune spots with the disease and figure out which sunlight is best for your plant. This type of plant is very tolerant to different amounts of sunlight. They can go with full sun or full shade, so maybe go with an in between, because too much shade could be why there is insufficient growth causing leaves to become less vibrant. But it can go the other way with too much sun causing sunburn.

Thank you so much! I’ll look into the leaf spot disease
