# So I have about a half dozen plants in quarantine, most had mealy…

So I have about a half dozen plants in quarantine, most had mealy bugs but one had white aphids. I just looked through my whole window and didn't see a sign of any more bugs but then I came to my chocolate velvet plant and saw this. Anyone know what's going on?

It looks like the leaf from your plant may be showing signs of a fungal infection or possibly powdery mildew. The white spots on the leaf are characteristic of these types of plant problems, especially if the environment is humid or lacks good airflow.

Here’s what you can do:

1\. \*\*Check for Overwatering\*\*: Ensure the plant is not being overwatered, as excessive moisture can promote fungal growth.

2\. \*\*Improve Air Circulation\*\*: Move the plant to a place with better airflow to prevent moisture buildup on the leaves.

3\. \*\*Treat with Fungicide\*\*: If it’s powdery mildew or another fungal issue, using a plant-safe fungicide or a diluted solution of baking soda and water (about 1 tablespoon of baking soda per gallon) can help treat the infection.

4\. \*\*Remove Infected Leaves\*\*: Gently prune away affected leaves to prevent the spread of infection.

If the issue continues to worsen, you may want to repot the plant with fresh soil to eliminate any potential root rot or lingering fungal spores.
