Hi guys n gals, desert rose problem. It's getting cooler here with less sunlight and this has been slowly dropping leaves at the top of the plant (it's nearly 5ft tall) but has healthy green leaves on bottom 1/3. It currently has 5 or 6 seed pods and two others have split to give me some wonderful seeds. I plan to move it to a warmer location soon, watering is the same and it had a lick of 1/2 strength liquid fert about a month ago. This is the first time I've seen these spots. Any ideas? TIA...
