Those of you who grow this plant probably know that it gets some very dark maroon spotting in the winter and spring if grown in very bright light. If you look at the picture of the first plant that I posted om 3-30-09, you will see some very irregular dark spotting on the leaf. I was sure that this was not the common speckling from bright light but a black spot fungus but guess what; the plant is in the growing mode now and has turned completely green and all of the spotting is gone including what I thought was fungus.

I am posting this just for info. to others who grow this plant so you won't be concerned like I was about the black markings.
