# Does anyone know what these little black/brown spots are on my ring…

_Geplaatst door PlantMum op 2024-08-28_

Does anyone know what these little black/brown spots are on my ring of fire? This is a fairly new leaf and I looked at this plant yesterday and did not see the spots. It looks like this is the only leaf with them.

I think I might be stumped on this one.

I would naturally assume it’s environmental stress. It could also be a fungus/bacteria of some sort but I cannot tell exactly from what.

I see lower leaves looking curled, died off, and some other symptoms occurring so I would ask. What type of Light exposure, humidity levels, watering habits, and repotting, or fertilizer have you done to it?

#### PlantMum antwoordde op 2024-08-28

It sits in a south facing window but doesn’t get full light because of tree coverage, it mostly gets bright, indirect light. I water it when the soil is completely dry and I’ve only repotted it once whenever I got it, a couple months ago. I haven’t fertilized it at all and I don’t add any extra humidity to it, just the environment of my house.

Everything seems to be good, would leave it how you got it unless it starts to develop more than would try some more light/humidity. Other than that idk, got me on this one lol!

agree with HS! this is weird, i’ve been mulling this one over and coming up short.

If this were my plant I’d do what HS is saying — nothing besides seeing if it spreads.

fungal is my best guess. you could try watering with a solution of hydrogen peroxide if you’re itching to do something, but I’d just wait and watch 👀 😎

You could also try a fungicide spray and make sure your soil is draining and not sitting wet too long.
