I dont really have a way to give more air, light or warmth. It is sitting under one of my 4 bulb t5 strips with a fan near by. Under those lights is by far the warmest place in my house. What fungicide do you guys use and recommend? So I need to pull all its flowers off?

Pulling the flowers off is the recommendation. There are several fungicide spray that I use. The one I use the most is made with water, dish soap, little bleach and cinnamon. I use that as a preventive and it works great. Now, when I see something I'm not sure of severity of infection I use Garden Safe Fungicide 3 ( any new plant that has large brown spots gets a treatment with it) Is for organic gardening and it works great. And my last resort is Bonnie liquid copper fungicide but that is when everything else has fail to stop the spread.
The sad part is cutting the flowers, the good part is that you will be treating the plant and making sure that she gets healthy and next year she will probably give you beautiful flowers without any spots.
