My lucothoe fontanesiana rainbow plant has spots
Hi. My leucothoe fontanesiana rainbow plant had brown spots on some of the leaves. Then, the leaves die. Why Is this happening and how can I stop it? Thank you!

Where do you live? It looks like new growth was damaged by a cold freeze or it was hit with an herbicide that killed some new growth. The other possibility is a leaf spot disease encouraged by warm, moist weather. Your climate will give me a clue on what is going on. I suggest you cut back the damaged sections and see if the new growth is clean. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
