My blue widow has some white spot on some leave and I think it could be a mushroo but I don't know what to do, she also has her leaves that are going down but I think that's just a lack of water because the weather was very hot this week, some leaves are also turning yellow

@Tim839 Hi mate I do not want to alarm you but I'm afraid you may have the beginnings of a spider mite attack You need to examine the underside of the spotted leaves for tiny little dark dots you will see with the naked eye. and if examined with the aid of a magnifier they will look like 8 legged nasties . So if you indeed have mites it is imperative you act now to get rid of them before they damage the plant any further. You see they suck the chlorophyl out of the leaves doing a lot of damage. To get rid of them you will need to use a Miticide or some Neem oil but you must do it as soon as possible

Hey there my friend, these things happen when you grow outdoors right ? Like bugs jump around and sometimes they visit your plant. It becomes a problem if they decide to make a home on your plant though. Looks like it could be any kind of bugs, so the good news is you don't have a fungal infection! Check the leafs very carefully to see if you can find them, like Dilli said check the underside of the leafs for really microscopic black spots. Those are spidermites and they are the worst! Others are still bad though! To get rid of them my prefered method is biological : look for beneficial bacteria like bacillus thuringiensis Israelis - also called BTi - this bacteria is very powerful and it will attack and control most pests, eggs and larvae. Hope this helps ! 🚀
