What to do if there are black spots on carnation leaves

1. Disease problem

(1) Specific reason: This is the most likely reason. There is a disease called "leaf spot". As its name suggests, it mainly harms the leaves of the plant. That’s right, after getting this disease, some small black spots may appear on the leaves first. Then, if the disease worsens, these black spots will become larger and larger. Eventually, the leaves will wither and fall off.

(2) Solution: First, we need to pick off the leaves that have black spots and are relatively seriously ill, and dispose of them properly. This is done to prevent them from endangering the health of the leaves. Next, we can use some pesticides to help the plants fight diseases.

2. Watering problem

(1) Specific reasons: This does not mean that there is too much or too little water, but that we accidentally spilled water on the leaves when watering. In this way, if you are exposed to the sun again, some sun spots will form. In this way, from a distance, they look like some small black dots.

(2) Solution: As for the leaves with black spots, since they are not related to any disease, there is no major harm in keeping them. If you feel they are an eyesore, you can remove them. In addition, when we water, we must be careful and pour it downwards carefully. In order to avoid splashing on the leaves, you can water from both sides instead of from top to bottom.
