I pluck off bad leaves with my right hand avoiding healthy leaves and treat soil with peroxide and water. Than use a baking soda,neem, tea tree oil or vegetable oil mixed with water and spray each leaf top bottom,and stems. You have to stay on top of it. Fertilize your plant organicly with fish emulsion and I use fox farm big bloom. Also Like every 7 days repeat spraying the leaves. I bought a mandevilla vine purposely bc I saw it was covered in leaf spot. I literally took almost every leaf off by the time I got it to stop. It's growing beautiful new leaves and doing much better. I'm in zone 6 so I'm prone to leaf spot, black spot, and stuff that humid weather brings on. I watched a video that says treat your soils every spring before growing starts bc if you had fungus one year it will return the next. Sorry so long but ppl leave out important things. Hope this helps. Btw watch organic leaf spot treatment for ratio on your organic sprays.

I appriciate ur content. But this video raised more queations than anwers 🙄

Hey guys! Landscaping horticulturist here! Plant pests & disease life cycles & functions the same way as outside- ONLY ITS WAY WORSE BECAUSE OF THE LIMITED ECOLOGY AND WATERING FACTORS CONTAINED IN SAID POT/SOIL! essentially, the video is over complicating a few key points with care: 1) IF a leave has browning on the edges its a humidity issue 2) crunchy & yellowing edges could indicate root rot or another form of infection. Check your soils BEFORE watering or use a drainage cache pot to collect excess water. *To treat roots/soil look into using hort oil, & hydrogen peroxide. A good way to prevent root rot for indoors is to completely remove nursery plugs before planting. Bark sand & pumice improve drainage & oxygen the ROOTS need to process carbon dioxide. 2) spots in the middle of a leaf or away from edges indicate infection. Investigate! 3) raised bumps that appear "abnormal" are most likely pests developing INSIDE the leaves. If mild- Break open and inspect the leaves on the eldest or ugliest leaves (if needed) Remove leaf entirely for severe infection or pest damage. ^^^ REPOT IMMEDIATELY AND INSPECT SURROUNDING PLANTS. A regular application of granulated pesticides for indoors is your best bet after cleaning up the plant & soils.( This product can also be used as a preventative to contain the spread of pests that like to feast on your plants. It will kill off bugs for two months when applying properly- most indoor pests have a 2-6 week life cycle so two applications over time will garuntee stopping the bugs entirely no matter which stage they're at in development) 3) "pin prick holes" These may be caused by pest damage or part of the plant species itself. Look for webbing or creepy crawlies near the tender bits of plants (the newest growth is the JUICIEST and most easily accessed food source for mites). If due to spider mite damage spray the foliage with cold water to kill & knock most mites off, spray 10% rubbing alcohol & dish soap solution. increase humidity overall in the area as they prefer dry air. ...I'm surprised he didn't mention scale🕵️‍♀️😬

I just leave my front and kitchen doors open 80% of the year, whenever possible and they're literally across the house from each other basically so it just flows through all day and sometimes ib even sleep with it open when its cool enough and not too cold. I really do think it helps.

Those brown/black spots surrounded by yellow indicates the "Black Spot" fungus. Cut away the infected stems so it won't spread. Then spray the remaining leaves with Neem oil. Allow the soil to go completely dry. You may want to treat with a Fungicide spray for plants if it appears to be a severe case. Black Spot is usually caused by bacteria or humidity issues. Hope this helps.

It's roots are so full and healthy, yet the plant itself is doing terrible. It seems like it's suicidal!! Right now I've both sprayed and watered it with a strong fungicide formula and now I just have to wait. I hope it works.

@@nohanne6649 Hello! Sadly I lost it. I think the problem was with the plant itself. Couldn't figure out what kind of sickness it had in the end. No matter what I did, it refused to grow. It only liked to grow roots instead of leaves. But I bought a new adansonii a few months ago and this one is doing amazing! But I must admit this time, instead of soil, I planted it in a mixture of coco bark, leca balls and sphagnum moss. But I keep seeing some in plant shops that are in soil and are growing so nicely. Maybe after my new plant becomes bigger, I'll transfer it to soil and see what happens.

This is exactly the video I’ve been searching for . Super helpful, thank you!

Seriously, am I the first to comment? Wake up you guys.... My suggestion here would be to avoid touching these spots then healthy leaves to avoid spreading the issue. I get these spots as well in anthuriums, like the first one you showed. I think it is indeed from moisture - mine have same lesions as if someone sliced the leaf - you have a small one next to the large one. It could initially be from thrips then pathogens entered thru the lesion. Do you treat these spots with anything or isolate plants?

It's good to note that sometimes these discolouration around the outsides of leaves can be due to fertilisation and mineral issues in the plant.

All I know is that when my mother was watering her devils ivy plant it was flourishing and nearly completely green. As soon as I took over, this started happening ☹️☹️ I don’t even get the leaves wet; I always water the soil to get the roots. I thought I was watering it too much, then I thought I was watering it too little. Smh. I hope I get the hang of it. We’ve had this particular plant for a very long while. Can’t ask for advice due to her passing. Thanks for all the info.

Nice video! It's always hard to know what has caused the browning of leaves, most of us hobbyists can only learn by experience and inferences, as well as listening to insights from other hobbyists. There are many possible causes to leaf spots: light burn, heat burn, low humidity, edema, fungal, pest. I think Legends of Monstera did a pretty good job of observing the environment of the plant and attributing the most relevant cause to the issue of leaf spots. I'm not expecting a textbook answer from this video, but just listening to his experience and integrate it with mine to have a better understanding of what my plant are doing. :)

Thanks for this video! It was super helpful! I have orange ring dots n black dots on my leafs edges and sometimes random sections are yellow. And ur vidoe makes me think i should of been keepin up with maintenance like wiping leafs

Thank you for explaining what that was. I have a struggling phil and half the plant have these patches. Now i can do more research.

What is the plant on the counter behind you on the right? It almost looks like a philodendron but I can’t place it.

Not sure about that first one - I tend to find if a 'bottom' part of the leaf goes thin and like wet tissue paper, and still has the green like yours does, it's from edema (overwatering/inconsistent watering). It's still green initially, as though that part of the leaf his died suddenly, then it crisps up. Edema can also lead to fungal issues since it causes tissue damage. When I see that I reduce how much water I'm using per watering and make sure I'm watering consistently i.e. not letting it get more dry or stay more moist than usual between waterings. Also the shape of that leaf and the fact it's only giving you two at a time, have you tried CalMag?

I wish you had solutions to these problems

First up the first leave you’ve got a fungal infection keep going I’m listening. i’m no expert I love listening to you. The fungus on thinking of comes from South America it’s a real good fungus for leaf litter that lives under the canopies but here in Australia you can’t grow anything without it raising its head. I’ve even got a video of a Bee collecting the yellow fungal growth and putting it on its legs as if it was pollen..Check your water possibly even redo the soil but you have a fungal infection it’s going through all of your plants and it is not because the water is sitting on the leaf in my opinion but I’m no expert I’m just a 59-year-old woman that’s a bit of a green thumb that reads a lot. Keep up the good work I really do love it

Do you quarantine your plants when you think the spot is fungal or bacterial? Or just make sure the leaf doesn't touch?

Can you go over your anthurium veitchii care? 😊

Dont use Tap water, dont overwater your plants, dont overfertilize, and use salt free soil. Plants from the rainforest are living a salt free live. So you have to do at home the same to avoid leaf spots and suffering plants.

What's the name of the plant at 5.10 mins? If you don't mind me asking :)

Right ?? So how do I treat those and what?

Merry Christmas, Jimmy! Hope there are no babies in NICU so you can have a relaxing holiday, but somehow I bet that's not happening!
