Fungus Enzyme

Second attempt to treat brown/dark spots on leaves. Cut off the infected leaves, and spary with home-made enzyme (replacing previous home-made fungiscide).

It could be due to overwatering as well. Put the pot under the sun, and only water it if the soil is dry or when leaves become droppy.

The fungus/dark spots seems to be under control with new leaves growing. I also water the plant less often as I suspect overwatering.
