Christmas Cactus Brown Coating

9 years ago

Hi--I have had my Christmas Cactus for about 6 years and I usually put it outside for the summer and it does really well. This year has been unusually rainy and cool and I just noticed this brown coating on many of the leaves. I brought it inside but was wondering if anyone knew what it is? Possibly a fungus? Thank you!

IMO it Dont look like burn to me but does look fungal

The pin punch holes are a result of spider bites or something to that effect Squirrel and or ect

Also the whitish browning coloring could be a result of hard water If it where is fungal it may have spread over the past few months I guess Jades are more problatic and might be how this thread was overlooked
