These '<pots only appear on the oldest folia<re. lu cutting bflp the lowest leaves, no JiJiim is done, but the removal of one of the next size always shows a little *s.

So I thought there might be some leaves that I never struck and the original trouble was red spider, which later caused tiiese spots.
