Have this orange speckled stuff. I don’t know if it was a pest at one point. I think it’s also in too big of a pot.There’s a lot of new growth. Any suggestions? Or is it doing just fine maybe cut off the older leaves, I am thinking about downsizing it. I don’t know. Let me know please on that. ![3개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6gF7ig8Yfg4XBQWjVQtXtPQ1sA8MxysvUi8aI3Q6ZZQ/4yI4fUveQd-CRdbJGuXBCw.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 2번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6gF7ig8Yfg4XBQWjVQtXtPQ1sA8MxysvUi8aI3Q6ZZQ/9ddvzQ9BRXi1a7Eye0UHbg.webp?size=large) ![3개 중 3번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/6gF7ig8Yfg4XBQWjVQtXtPQ1sA8MxysvUi8aI3Q6ZZQ/dO_UshAJTeWKThO1QmnKbg.webp?size=large) ## 10개의 댓글 ### JenThon🪴🪷님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. Rust? I’m thinking so. #### Rhona님이 2025-06-28에 답변했습니다. That’s interesting. I’ve never heard that before, but I can see where that can be. Have you ever treated something like this before? ### JenThon🪴🪷님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. I use copper spray. I think there are a few options, but I hate the smell of Neem and that’s one I know. The copper seems to work ok for me, I just use it every day for about 5 days now. I’m dealing with the same issue. ☹️🥀 ### Rhona님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. So I don’t have Copper spray. But I do have neem oil and I don’t mind the smell. So how do you use that? Do you just spray it on the leaves like you would with a copper spray? Because I have used neem oil to get rid of some pest. But I don’t think it’s a pest problem. I think it’s a plant problem in the ways of the soil or something. ### JenThon🪴🪷님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. I think rust is a bacteria or fungus. Look it up online, it will let you know. I guess I should look it up too, because I’m not entirely sure. ### JenThon🪴🪷님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iazrchIw5DC2R47bv8mcxNbzXkRSM1uBJluy3ke2o5M/d0vKkC9fS9-hswmbhRpcpQ.webp?size=large) ### JenThon🪴🪷님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/iazrchIw5DC2R47bv8mcxNbzXkRSM1uBJluy3ke2o5M/TTPV4WOgTkm3eIzBnMkF_w.webp?size=large) #### Rhona님이 2025-06-28에 답변했습니다. Wow! Yeah, I personally have never had this problem with any of my plants, but I guess it is a real thing. Thank you so much for doing the legwork on that and giving me the information. I think I’m going to take it out of its pot. See what the roots look like, cut off the old leaves. It’s still in good shape so I don’t think I’m gonna lose it but I think it does need some help. Thank you so much. ### Sunny님이 2025-06-28에 댓글을 남겼어요. It doesn’t look like rust. Rust is a fungus. There will be some powdery rust colored substance on the leaves with fungus rust. Several other conditions can cause the yellow spots including inconsistent watering, edema and overwatering. Edema is excess water in the cells that burst leaving spots. Inconsistent watering or overwatering can cause yellowing. I would guess is more of an old watering issue because it’s only on the older leaves. I wouldn’t worry as long as it’s not spreading to other leaves or getting worse on the affected leaves. ![1개 중 1번째 첨부 파일](https://images.getplanta.com/v1/resize/wefqOljjhEOiS9LRzOB1-QhxkVJiB4A5DGumXhnNrhs/08Z2chNcQSCsTqQ62YM2TA.webp?size=large) #### Rhona님이 2025-06-28에 답변했습니다. Thanks. Yes that makes sense. I did repot it. It was such a cakey mess in the root ball. I did cut off the older leaves (and broke some while working on it). Eeek. But I hope it will get better. --- _Planta 커뮤니티 (https://getplanta.com). 누구나 읽을 수 있습니다. 게시물을 올리고, 댓글을 달고, 좋아요를 누르려면 Planta 앱을 다운로드하세요: https://getplanta.com/download_
