I "still" have two Carmona , still because one is wonderfull ( nice small green and vigurous leafs , flowering daily ) , but the other is sik or upset : it has just few leafs , most of them turning to yellow with few brown dots on the rear side !

Some ideas about ?

Hello Emix,

Welcome to the forum...so glad you could join us!
So sorry you have a sick Fukien Tea(carmona). Thank you for your photo.

First of all, have you isolated this plant from the others to avoid spreading of the problem? You sound like you are not sure it is spiders. If it is spiders, it would be "spider mites"...very tiny red spiders and you will see clusters of fine spider webbing on the plant. It looks like it could be a "sucking" insect. It would be very helpful if you could include some close-up photos of the backs of the sick leaves and any bugs or tiny little bumps you can see. This would help us to help you.

Also, what did you use as a treatment on your plant, please?

Thanks for link : I'm in study now (looks very interesting)!

You're welcome! Please keep us posted.

Last news about sick Carmona:
I wiped leaves with alcohol ( a diluted solution ) , I renounced to all sick leaves ( yellow, brown or doted ),I didn’t use again the Compo insecticide , and … unbelievable , it works apparently , plant looking better !
The time is too short to say it was the solution, of course, but I hope I’m on the good way!
I’ll be back with news in few days.

Hi emix, welcome!

When have you bought the trees? It also could be stress from moving to a different space. I've had also this kind of leaves and they first turned green with little yellow/brown dots, then it turned yellow and at last it turned brown and fell off. This was because my tree has stand the whole summer outside but it was getting cold, so I placed it inside. Because of the moving he was a bit stressed, but it's doing fine now again.

And maybe the other tree wasn't affected by the moving. It could also be because of other reasons, it's sometimes difficult to know why the tree is doing bad.

Good luck, hope everything is okay now!

Thanks Youri!
I have this Carmona about two months (was a gift!), so I’m forced to care IT!
You are right in a way; about stress: I saw some plants very sensitive and my Carmona too.I wiped leaves with alcohol because they were sticky. In my opinion, it met a few factors combination: new place, new soil, different environment, an old disease, etc, etc.Now it is on a good way, looks better and (very important) my other plants are healthy being not contaminated.
I’ll be back probably after tomorrow with a photo.
Thank you and care with love your plants!

Good to hear he's doing better!
