Little Brown Spots Along Edges of Camellia Japonica (Help!)

8 years ago

last modified: 8 years ago

Can anyone help identify what's going on with our Camellia? Searched the internet and haven't come across anything. This popped up on these leaves within the last few days. No changes in its care, the weather has been consistent. I did, however, water it with a little SuperThrive last week (had some left in the watering can, being added to new plants), but don't think it'd cause something like this. (?)

Any help is much appreciated!

It looks like fertilizer burn to me. Did you feed anything else, aside from SuperThrive?

vvasabi, thank you for responding! The week prior I had put new garden soil down, which probably had fertilizer in it. Maybe that was it! Thank you.

Bij mij hetzelfde probleem. Vind niks op internet. Ik heb geen kunstmest gebruikt.

Jacqueline, for our plant, we determined it was from soggy roots. The camellia is unfortunately planted in an area with poor soil drainage. When it rains significantly, or if we overwater, new leaves seem to grow with these spots. The spots are harmless, just not very pretty. Hope this helps!

O dat zou goed mogelijk zijn. Dank je wel.
