Hey botanists!!

I think I have fungus on my Fukien tea. See pic below.

If this is fungus what’s the plan? Stop misting? Natural fungicide? Removal of effected leaves?

I don’t want to do that as the effected leaves are pretty big. What is the appropriate humidity for this plant?

I think this is the third topic about the same plant? It would be useful if you stayed in just one topic so we all can see the history.

I feel like I’m getting closer.

I got the yellow leaf turnover thing. Then these grey spots. That’s the only history I have with this tree.

Just want to know if you all think it’s fungus and if it is what I should do...

User Clicio said he thinks it’s fungus. I just need a game plan to keep from spreading, and judging on the pics I’ve seen I would appreciate more opinion and techniques to eliminate said hypothetical fungus.

thanks for anything you all could share

IF it is a fungus, you need to get 2 things sorted:

- Reduce / stop the spores from moving and germinating. So keep the plant from becoming wet
- Remove the source of spores. So remove affected leaves

I am not sure it is a fungus, but do not have a better idea.
