Is something wrong with my Sedirea Japonica? Male
Default Is something wrong with my Sedirea Japonica?

I have recently moved my Sedirea japonica outside because I read it needs/can handle cooler temps in the fall and winter, but now one of the leaves (the lowest one) is turning yellow and I noticed several brown spots on the underside of the top most leaf. I know the topmost leaf had a spot when it arrived about a month ago, but I don't recall several spots. Is something wrong? Can it be fixed?
Currently it receives about an hour or hour and a half of exposure as the sun rises in the morning, then the porch overhang provides shade the rest of the day. Temperature is about high 70s in the day and 60 to mid 50s at night. (In case it's a cultural problem)

I don't see anything to be too worried about. That yellow leaf is going to fall soon, it's normal. Don't pull or cut it, let it drop on its own. Spots happen on occasion and might be impossible to find the initial cause, a microbe (looks fungal to me) gets in but the plant has stopped the infection. Wipe it with rubbing alcohol and keep the leaves dry.

I don't expect the spots to grow but you should bring it in to maintain control over any pest/critters/weather.

(Why would you take it out now oppose to spring/summer?)

Thats good to hear. Thank you.
In regards to the question, I did a bunch of looking up on the Internet machine and saw that sedirea japonica needs a cool rest otherwise it keeps growing and never blooms. Is this true?

Oh and the other reason I didn't move it outside earlier is because I only received it a month ago

I grow mine indoors year round and it blooms reliably. I think most plants would like to spend time outside but I can't do that. Indoors, mine gets to 60°F (a couple or more nights of 57°) in the winter. I think light is more important and I do supplement the window light with LEDs.
