# My gloriosum started showing these spots. I’m not sure what they are…

_Posted by Richard on 2024-08-12_

My gloriosum started showing these spots. I’m not sure what they are from. There is no visible pest on any of my plants and there is healthy new growth. Just wondering if anyone had a similar thing happen, and what it was/ how you treated it. I have been spraying with insecticide and neem oil just in case.

this looks bacterial/fungal — something to do with you watering and the way the soil is holding onto water. you could try watering with peroxide
