Give your plants some more breathing room so they aren’t overcrowded and bumping leaves with others. While some plants (ferns, air plants, etc) like high humidity and appreciate misting, many others won’t react well to being wet all the time, as this makes them more prone to infection. You can do this by running an air purifier or fan nearby, or by keeping a window slightly open, especially during summers when it gets hot and humid. To prevent leaf spot from taking out your plants, try these tips and tricks:
Avoid getting water onto the leaves as it recovers.Copper-based fungicides are safe and effective for most plants, but always do your research – copper can be harmful to certain plants. Provide frequent treatment of neem oil or another fungicide to the foliage.If there is only one spot or two, skip this and follow the next steps. Prune and remove heavily affected leaves.These acts seem helpful, but if not done carefully, can create the perfect breeding ground for these bacterias and fungi to take form. Fluctuations in temperature can also threaten the safety of your plants, so try to keep the room at a comfortable, consistent temperature. Another common mistake is splashing water onto leaves during watering or over-misting foliage. Consistently high humidity levels paired with poor air flow and circulation is the most common cause. There are multiple ways that leaf spot can be encouraged to appear.
