      Pelargonium, pest identification, brown spots on the leaves

      Hello, I have this pelargonium that is kept in my apartment and keeps getting these brown spots and holes on the leaves. Almost all of its leaves fell off once before, it was all withered and perforated but now it has recovered and made much bigger and prettier leaves than before. The problem is that the brown spots have reappeared. Also about two leaves have these green spots on them, but I don’t know if this is normal. I don’t have pictures of the pest but I did notice one day a small insect like a black dot walking on the soil. I checked the stem and the underside of the leaves but found no eggs. Thank you!

      Hello, unfortunately we can’t play the video, so please send us more focused photos of the plant as a whole and the symptoms observed. Also please give us more details about the maintenance of the plant: location, watering (watering method, quantity, water source), light, temperature, humidity and any other relevant information.

      I hope the pictures are ok. In the first two pictures I have attached you can see the leaves with those brown dots and holes, and in the last two, the leaves that have lots of light green circles on the surface. I don’t know if this is what the plant should look like, but I thought I’d mention these circles just to be sure. I keep the plant in the kitchen where it gets the most light, I live on the ground floor and unfortunately I can’t expose it to direct sunlight because of the trees outside. I used to water it twice a week (it also has a saucer for the excess water), but I noticed a white mold on the soil because it was always wet, so now I only water it once a week, and I changed the soil too, but only halfway through. I pour about half a glass of warm tap water on it. And as for the temperature, there are around 21 degrees. Thank you in advance!

      Hello! The symptoms that can be seen on the leaves are similar to a fungal disease. In these conditions, it is recommended to remove the affected leaves and treat with a systemic fungicide with a broad spectrum of action, such as Amistar, 10 ml, in a dose of 10 ml/10 L water.
      To increase the effectiveness of the fungicide, it is recommended to add an adjuvant to the solution such as: Break Thru S 240, 2 ml, in a dose of 2 ml/10 L. Spray the mixture as finely and evenly as possible on the leaves (Tech1).
      From spring onwards, during the growing and flowering period, it is recommended to use a fertilizer that is specially formulated for flowering plants such as: Flowering Organic Fertilizer, 350 ml or Wuxal Flowers Fertilizer Blütenpracht, 1 litre, applied according to the label recommendations.
      Subsequently, it is recommended to follow the specific care requirements: Pelargonium, plant care and growing guide.
