I notice that most of the droopy and sick leaves have brown/black spots on their surfaces, as well as odd patches of a transparent substance, especially on the veins of the leaves.

I have included pictures of the spots and transparent patches with this post.

Does anyone know what this is, and, especially, how to get rid of it? Poor Mr. Planty isn't looking so good!


Hi Starrburst.

The brown could be overwatering, sun scald or any number of things. The white on the leaves looks like powdery mildew. What is Mr. Planty's name? Any other info on him? Planted indoors or outdoors?
