Julia on Oct 25, 2013I was going to say it looks like Botrytis also. It's a type of mold. you could try taking off the diseased leafs and the top layer of soil in the pot. I would also stop the spraying at night.Helpful Reply

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on Oct 26, 2013pick off the damages leaves, be sure to not touch the good ones with your hands after you handle the bad, it will spread the spores. Keep it dryer and watch out for fungus knats next.Helpful Reply
