Etiolation disease: leaves will turn yellow and should be removed in time. Mosaic: there will be patterns on the leaves. Weeds shall be removed and chemical control shall be applied.

Black spot disease

Symptoms

Black spot mainly damages stem and leaf. In the early stage, there will be dark brown spots on the leaves, and remediation will spread to form spots. With the expansion and increase of spots, the whole leaves will die. The disease can spread to the stem, causing the plant to fall.

Control methods

Catharanthus black spot

Mosaic disease

Onset symptom

The whole plant is diseased, the leaves are patterned, the plants grow poorly, the flowers are small and few, and the petals are spotted and deformed.

Control methods
