Symptoms
Grey-brown spots made up of concentric markings appear on the leaves
and can join together to create large dead patches. A small pinhead
fruiting fungal body can sometimes be seen in the middle of the
spots.
Cause
A variety of different fungi.
Harm
Odd leaves may die but, as a rule, the spots are not very harmful.
However, their appearance suggests that the plant is suffering from
some other disease or is stressed.
Treatment
Organic - remove all infected leaves. Try to determine (and
remedy) if the plant is stressed in some way, such as if it is in
an position it doesn't like, or is over- or under-watered. Plants
are often stressed by the soil drying out, so it is well worth mulching
around the base of plants with well rotted farmyard manure. This
helps condition the soil and enables it to retain more moisture.
Chemical - Spray with a fungicide at the first signs of an
attack.
