| My first problem child - name that disease (please)
This is the first time that I've had to deal with a problem beyond basic culture issues; either a virus or fungus, I would guess. Attached are pictures, and I would appreciate any help pinpointing the problem and finding a solution. It came on quickly; I was gone for 4 days and when I came back a leaf had completely yellowed and the rest were covered with these spots. I have isolated the plant and am looking for care suggestions. Thank you.

I see 2 things to address: 1) the spotting - is probably a bacterial of fungal spotting. You could treay with Physan and do increase the air circulation around the plant as good air circulation helps to prevent this sort fo leaf spotting. 2) the pleating - the rippled or pleated leaves is caused by underwatering during a particular phase of the plants growth. If, while the plant is growing, it is watered sufficiently the pleating will not occur. If, hile it is growing it gets too dry, the growth will pleat. So: better air circulation and more even watering.
